No, I am interested in functionality that derives from using meta data.
And I am interested in ease of use of meta data facilities in XHTML 2.
It seems that the current XHTML 2.0 Working Draft offers neither, but
rather allows open-end extensibility just like HTML 2 did, just with a
few new ways to encode the meta data which are all difficult to use,
and with a number of features removed.

I want to extract, not encode this information. I do not know what other
authors use to encode the information, so how can I know how to extract
the information?
