Registered Extensions
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions#Registered_Extensions

One of the registered extensions for the meta name attribute is dcterms.language ("A language of the resource. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as RFC 4646 [RFC4646].")

It would be nice to have a clear contact information for the person who submitted the proposed extension since I had to guess in order to send comments about dcterms.language.

There is also some text in the Synonyms column which I think is incorrect. It is not clear to me who wrote that, and I'd like to talk with them because I think it is possibly incorrect/misleading.

So I'd like to see:
1. a column to indicate an email/contact address for the submitter of a proposal
2. guidelines that people editing the columns should provide contact information when they do.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: No spec change.
Rationale: The <meta> extensions registry is a wiki page; if you'd like
to see contact information on there, simply go ahead and add a column.

That said, we should revisit this when/if we change the registration
mechanisms in HTML.next, so I've moved this to the HTML.next component.
