I agree with Jonas that it's unlikely to get broad adoption without styling support. Assuming proper styling controls, meters are used *everywhere*. Think about every time you see a rating site that gives a movie 4 stars, for example. Without proper styling these sorts of cases won't use <meter>, but with styling (done in such a way as to make these kinds of things easy), I think you'll see a lot of use. ~TJ
