It's the solution to a (currently) non existing problem. Back in 2001,
Microsoft threatened the world with its SmartTags technology, scheduled
for XP, that would read webpages and add custom links where it estimated
convenient.
Uproar ensued, and SmartTags were dismissed. Today, that meta tag exists
half as a memorial of the whole issue, half as a way to be as
future-proof as the best :)
