122002 - Provide keywords and descriptions Some indexing engines look for META
122003 - elements that define a comma-separated list of keywords/phrases, or

122005 - keywords as the result of a search. The value of the name attribute
122006 - sought by a search engine is not defined by this specification.
122007 - Consider these examples,
