I even did not say, that meta data should not be visible. What I mean is, that this email arrives and everybody can see when this email was sent, because the meta data ist clearly seperated and technically usable by machins so that the mail agent can handle it and deliver this email, for example. I'd like to stress the "separation" from the content of the page. With "Cheers, Martin" you could not answer this email and with "written on some lonely afternoon in south of Germany" you would not know, when this was sent. My point is: meta data seems to be important, but we need to clarify what we want with it, the use cases. This all I say knowing, that the protocol should be frozen somewhen. If we just say, let's get as minimal, as it goes, many things may not be possible in the future. What I like best are concepts, like for example the programming language lua provides, that are flexible and elegant. Where can do much with a small set of features.
