That may be so but for those of us in local gov there is a requirement to include it and I want to make sure that it works as well as a dead horse can ;-)

Thanks for the clarification and I think the moral is that I need to think carefully about which elements of our intended metadata set can have meaningful null values and which *must* be populated.

As an afterthought what does <meta name="DC.accessibility" content="" /> say to people on this list. To me it says that the page/resource complies to no known accessibility standard.

And for those of you who are interested in the UK central Govt approach to accessibility, their example usage of this is <meta name="accessibility" content="Bobby accredited" /> ;P
