Those are http-equiv meta tags, not name meta tags. The spec clearly states how http-equiv meta tags should work, and lists the possible values for these tags. > I think what the original poster was asking for was what HTTP-EQUIV/NAME > values are common and used by the > browsers.

No browser support is needed to implement whatever name meta tags you want to use. As a result, there are many specific standards for these tags, but they're not managed by W3C. I mentioned Dublin Core earlier, that's a good place to start.
