 There is often a conflict between one or more plugins about registering
 meta tags in the header.  Meta tags that shouldn't be duplicated, it's
 difficult to know which one should 'win'.  A lightweight framework in core
 that multiple plugins could use to register meta tags seems like it would
 be useful.

 It would need to handle several different attributes for all use cases --
 `name` `property` `http-equiv` `charset` -- possibly generic `data-*`
 attributes?  Uncertain.
