meta tag pass through?

[Moshe Yudkowsky <ms...@bl.com>]

I see that the "meta" tag is supported in the DTD for version 20 
documents, but does the rest of the system support the tag, and if so, 
how so?

I've tried to add, to site2xhtml.xsl, the following:

> <xsl:apply-templates select="meta"/>

and a template

> <xsl:template match="meta">
> 	<xsl:for-each select="meta">
> 	<xsl:element name="meta">
> 		<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></xsl:attribute>
> 		<xsl:attribute name="content"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
> 		<xsl:if test="@xml:lang">
> 		<xsl:attribute name="lang"><xsl:value-of select="@xml:lang"/></xsl:attribute>
> 		</xsl:if>
> 	</xsl:element>
> 	</xsl:for-each>
> </xsl:template>

but now I'm wondering if I have any <meta> tags coming through the 
pipeline to this point, or if I've got a silly error that makes the 
entire exercise pointless!

There was some discussion on the dev list some time ago, the most 
important post in that thread was:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=forrest-dev&m=110324061019177&w=2

I'm not sure if this thread ever ended up as a commit to the code base, 
it is worth you reading the whole thread, and, if no patch was ever sent 
to bring all the ideas together we would welcome one since you seem to 
have the need for this.
