I'm not sure why the meta tags are left in the xdoc format. Perhaps a

Please don't remove the meta-elements in these transformations as they
are needed for transporting a number of different pieces of info about
the source document from source to final html.

These are commented out meta-element in the XDoc, they are not the actual meta-elements. Please see the above comment in context for an example.

Are you saying that the commented meta-elements are used anywhere? I am not aware of such a thing, and if they are used I do not understand why they are commented out.

I use this meta-elements for additional chapter-counters, so that I have in my html-pages e.g. 2.5.x.x.x... and in the pdf too.
Therefore I add
<meta content="2.5" name="chapter">
to my .html
In site-to-xhtml.xsl I process this information e.g. for every section.
I know that is a dirty hack and it produces e.g. this
<h1>
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>2.5.1. </meta>a new section ...</h1>

Which looks realy ugly :-( in code but the result in the browser is looking good and that counts for our projects...

However this meta is not valid vor the DTD and hence - I think - it is commented out. Although it gets processed (bug?).

Give me a better work-around than using meta and I will be happy (And give me the time to implement that :-)))
