meta tags get lowercased?!

The tag gets lowercased in the metatags script at:

system.verbs.builtins.html.data.standardMacros.metaTags

The line with string.lower. This doesn't seem to be attached to a
lowercase tag pref you can turn on/off.

One alternative to changing the script would be to create a new wp text
object in your table and call it #meta and place the tag (<meta
name="MSSmartTags...) in the text object.

Here's Phil Suh's intro to meta tags in Frontier:
