RFC 2616 Section 14.12 is pretty clear, as is RFC 3282. Making the HTML5 definition different is not a "service to the community". I do support having the pragma, but it should have the meaning defined by RFC 2616 and (normatively) it should be consistent with the RFCs *and nothing more*. If Frontpage or Vignette or whatever want to do something useful with the information, bully for them. But don't set the page processing language by fiat or change the allowed format/values.
