Hi all,

First post to the microformats list. Many thanks to Ernie for turning my attention to this.

In my AHAH-driven application, the user accesses 200+ pages of small descriptive content in individual xhtml pages. Since the URLs of these pages, although driven through the AHAH mechanism, are publicly accessible and therefore indexable by search engines, I've included meta tags in the head.

These meta tags include content-type, content-language, expires, author, home, index, and a refresh (in conjunction with a js redirect). The redirects (js + meta) aren't executed when accessed via xmlhttprequest, but they are when a user hits the page directly.

So, on to my issue.

When the pages are loaded in via AHAH, so are the metas. I can remove them via node manipulation, but I'd rather not have to add that step. If the user selects all in firefox, then chooses "view selected source", he/she will see meta tags nested in the middle of page content.

1. Does this present a problem to accessibility?
2. Does this present a problem to functionality?
3. Should this set a precedent for the use of meta tags in AHAH source content?
(4. Is this the right forum for this discussion?)

Thanks in advance,
Justin Maxwell
