I think it was in an early HTML standard, but dropped because of a total 
failure to implement it in the then mainstream browsers.  Instead they 
introduced meta, which has no web semantics.  My own theory is that meta 
was basically introduced to allow Word to dump its meta data into web 
page exports, without any real thought about what the word "web" really 
means.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
