Doesn't @value continue to work on the meta element?

>From the current HTML5 spec [1], the content attributes of <meta> are @name, @http-equiv, @content and @charset. I don't see @value there anymore. Perhaps I've missed something?

Yes, it should be the same for @datetime and @value, both having lower precedence than @content. I wonder if we even need the @value attribute; I think it may have previously been used on <meta>, which would make sense; but now it seems it's only used on <input> and <li> elements (where it must be a number). Perhaps we can just drop specific support for @value in HTML+RDFa 1.1.
