    No, this is exactly how meta elements are spec'd out:

    7.4.4 Meta data

    Note. The W3C Resource Description Framework (see [RDF10]) became a W3C Recommendation in February 1999. RDF allows authors to specify machine-readable metadata about HTML documents and other network-accessible resources.

    HTML lets authors specify meta data -- information about a document rather than document content -- in a variety of ways.

    For example, to specify the author of a document, one may use the META element as follows:



    The META element specifies a property (here "Author") and assigns a value to it (here "Dave Raggett").

    This specification does not define a set of legal meta data properties. The meaning of a property and the set of legal values for that property should be defined in a reference lexicon called a profile. For example, a profile designed to help search engines index documents might define properties such as "author", "copyright", "keywords", etc.

    And to note, it's an HTML tag with a property attribute and value attribute, just to totally bin your comment.

  • Craga89, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Now for Google for to follow suit. I've spent many an hour trying to style my google ads.
  • PrisonerOfPain, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2And now instead of browsers, search engines are the ones inventing proprietary extensions for HTML.

    BTW when will people finally get there vocabulary right? It's an attribute value, not a tag, element or attribute.
