The META element is used within the head element to embed document
meta-information not defined by other HTML elements. Such information can
be extracted by servers/clients for use in identifying, indexing, and
cataloging specialized document meta-information.
e.g. <META NAME="IndexType" content="Service">
However, as currently defined you can't use these tags in the BODY, which
sounds like it might be important to you.
Hope that helps,
