Over the years, my company has developed custom IBM.xxx meta tags for our internal and external web pages that are used by various internal tools. My question has two parts: 1) Is there an allowance for custom taxonomy definition that is not a proposal for general acceptance? For example, if we manage our own company-specific meta data schema and linked our pages two it, would it pass validation? If so, is there a spec that shows how to create our own schema? 2) The "Registered Extensions" table at http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions still show status of "proposal" for all tags. Does that imply that they are not fully accepted as extensions? For example, -- I would like to know that Dublin Core is accepted, so that I can rely on its continued support. -- However, there are also redundant examples in that table (e.g. web_author and designer) and tool-specific proposals that could be made more generic for broader use (e.g. Web Trends wt.xxx could become analytics.xxx). Is there a timeline to update the status to "accepted" for those that will be supported in the future? Thanks for your advice. Christine Smith IBM
