An element modification

Dear W3C,
               I have another idea.  As an HTML programmer, I often find it annoying to have to type <meta name="metaname" content="text..." /> for every different type of metadata.  I think it would help greatly to provide an alternative way such as <meta author="name" description="An example" keywords="example text" /> and etcetera.  I would want to keep the current way as an option, though, for everyone (including me) who already used it.

Sincerely,
