[XML-SIG] XBEL metadata question

[Chad Loder]

In that case, we could just do what Juergen Hermann suggested, making
the owner be "http-meta" or some such thing.

I have been thinking of other page metadata we could use:

<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="...">
<META NAME="author" CONTENT="...">

Probably the charset and language are important, and maybe even the
PICS content rating.

Also, in my estimation, only 1 out of 10 pages has decent metadata in
it, so maybe some search-engine style heuristics to take an abstract
of the page (the first paragraph maybe) and store it in an "abstract"
metadata or somesuch.
