I would be happy to help you with the research.

I did a quick & dirty extraction from the webdevdata.org to have a go at
it. Just extracted the top meta header names in order to see how popular
are the app-specific ones such as application-name
or apple-mobile-web-app-capable. Given that the viewport tag seems to be
extended, I also extracted the top properties in viewport.

It has been quick, so numbers are not accurate.

I'm happy to help with the draft, but I'm not doing a pull request yet. I
should probably fix my W3C account first, since it's still linked to my
previous company. I did send an application to join the group as invited
expert, in case I can help out.

Best,
Ernesto
