[Bug 22245] Requirements unclear for "other" metadata names

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22245

--- Comment #1 from Michael[tm] Smith <mike@w3.org> ---
FYI, the Nu Html Checker no longer checks the value of meta[name] at all. It
will accept any value for it without reporting an error.

The reason I made that change is that I think the experiment in trying to
enforce registration of meta[name] values has been a big failure and in the
mean time cost us way more time and trouble than it would have been worth even
if it'd ever had the effects it was intended to have, which is hasn't.

So speaking as a conformance-checker developer, at this point it doesn't matter
what the spec says here one way or the other, because I'm not implementing
support for any additional checking here, and won't be regardless of what new
changes might ever be made to the spec for this.
