Two reasons:

1. It may be incorrect.

2. If multiple templates are used to construct a response, different
   values may be included from each template, which may be inconsistent.

Since the meta element is unnecessary, it seemed better to leave it out
of the result, and rely on other components to render the correct values
without requiring them to insert correct values into the rendered template.
(The publisher, for instance, shouldn't need to know how to edit that into
the finished HTML.)
