Meta Data

Remember when we struggled with the definition of meta data for the 
lexicon.  Harvey very rightly said that element attributes were meta 
data.  I agree and even the ememt tags are meta data.

Well, I asked a question about meta data in my class and the students 
pointed out  to me that meta data in markup language usually refers to 
data about the document rather than the content - like the Dublin Core.  
Maybe we need to insert that next time we modify the lex.
