Meta is part of the HTML standard, description and keywords are not (although keywords is given as an example of use). The meta data authors can provide is arbitrary. http://w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-META Work on HTML has ceased, so Meta will never be removed from HTML. However, it may not exist in some future version of XHTML. Current work is on XHTML 2.0 which still includes a meta element, although the form it takes is changed from XHTML 1.0/HTML 4.01. It does still, however, user 'keywords' as an example of use. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-meta.html#sec_20.6. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
