IE 9 is introducing meta-tags for custom jumplist actions (+ Pinned Sites). Mozilla is also planning to do same https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605222 Some website (http://www.pcworld.com/ ) already started using it !!! At present IE9 make jumplist using msapplication-* If we dont make any standard now it will ugly to see pages with lot of meta tags named appleapplication-*, ubuntuapplication-*, redhatapplication-*, fedoraapplication-* and also tags for Web App support in Fennec https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583750 Also I did not like current implementation with a meta tag for each item. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg131029 I wish whole list was kept in an external file (like the proposed <link rel="application-description" href="myapp.json">) to avoid this same meta tag clutter on every page. Did anybody discussed with IE team about already proposed <link rel="application-description" href="myapp.json"> ? Looks like IE team only just used Ian's comment for >> - a name > <meta name=application-name content="Flickr"> Cheers Biju
