I was being a little tongue-in-cheek.  I mean, if IE is so wacked that you
need to put the META tag at the end of your page, wrapping it in the proper
HEAD tags in order to stick to standards is a little funny.

According to Homesite HTML Help:

The META element is used within the <HEAD> element to embed any useful
information
not defined by other HTML elements. Such information can be extracted by
servers/clients for use in identifying, indexing and cataloguing documents.

According to w3.org

	http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-META

The profile attribute of the HEAD specifies the location of a meta data
profile.
