Last I heard, we solicited a report from Manning Bartlett on metadata, how to keep track of it, why we should keep track of it, and so forth.
The suggestion is old, but basically, we shouldn't do it at all unless we can do it right (and, above all, unless we can keep it *simple for users*).
Automatically-generated metadata is a Good Thing, I think.

I have a meta keywords tag automatically generated from the links in the article body. Check the output of any article at http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml
Language will be done as well soon.
