I don't know why this isn't working. Support for meta tags has been in
since the 3.1.x betas, so unless you're running an old 3.0.x release, it
should work. I assume your keywords_meta_tag_names definition above is
all on one line, right?

No, the period and any additional HTML tag parameters should not pose
a problem. I suggest you run htdig -vvvv on a small test case of a few
documents to see what htdig does with the words in these meta tags.

There are plans for the 3.2.0 final release to include limiting searches
to a range of dates, but the dates would be based on the modification date
of the document, or a <meta name="date" ...> tag which simply overrides
the last-modified date (if use_doc_date is set). There are no plans
to support tags that assign a range of dates to an individual document.
You're the first person to request this particular twist to an otherwise
frequent request. How would you use meta data to describe a range of
dates in a document?
