Re: [webcomponents] bug-assist should use data-* attributes instead of <meta name> (bugzilla: 21916) (#229)

The experiment of having the HTML spec try to limit the valid values of `meta[name]` has turned out to be a (big) failure in practice. So while I have no opinion otherwise on the absolute merits of using `data-*` vs `meta[name]` in this particular case, when making any decision about it, I recommend everybody just ignore the requirements in the HTML spec on `meta[name]` values needing to be registered. The HTML validator no longer tries to enforce those requirements at least (because a few months ago I removed the code that was checking it).
