Does this mean the NPOV is violated if a meta tag is inserted to allow parents to filter out detailed specific information and blueprints on bomb building?
YES! By establishing a standard of what information may be desired to be filtered by parents and which information may not, we are grossly violating NPOV. What if a hypothetical parent wanted their children to be isolated from religious ideas?
Then they could do so easily by filtering out pages with the words God/Demon/Christ/occult/belief. However this will also get pages which aren't about religous ideas filtered.
Labelling isn't to let people filter more, it's to let people filter less by letting them use more advanced methods (Labelling as opposed to keyword search).
In the long term we want some generalized categorization system, but in the short term we should move towards that goal by providing categorization where it is most needed.
