The problem is that Patrick wants htdig to support both description
and htdig-description, with the last occurrence overriding earlier
ones, while someone else wanted it to support only htdig-description,
and ignore description. What's really needed is something akin to the
keywords_meta_tag_names attribute, to select which meta names will be
used as meta descriptions.
