Hi Anhad, this should *definitely* be validated by a semantic web guru, but I'd think you could specify this as metadata in a way similar to the below. You don't need to have it as part of the content and having it as part of the content is actually only one of the ways mentioned in the XHTML specification (section 24.3 - Metadata as content, available here http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/mod-metaAttributes.html)
