Anne, > The other problem is of course that metadata can be incorrect and if > enough people add incorrect metadata it will be ignored again (happened > before to the <meta> element for instance). I really don't understand why you have posted this Anne, particularly starting a new thread with a fanfare, as if it's some kind of novel discussion. Yes, metadata can be used for the benefit of mankind, and yes it can be 'misused'. But since knives, horseradish, hedge-trimmers, aeroplanes, camels, and just about everything we know also fall into this very broad category, I think it's best not to fill the list with such discussions. I think we all know that we're not achieving utopia as we propose and develop our solutions, but plenty of 'good stuff' will come from using metadata, even if some 'bad things' might happen on the way. This is a non-debate--I really hope that we don't now get a great long thread that pretends to be a debate.
