Hi Anastasia,

Thanks for putting this together. 

I think it makes sense to use the 'meta' element to add our metadata. The thing 
I don't like about the schema.org strategy is the requirement of adding a 
wrapping element for image tags. I always prefer to decorate the existing 
markup rather than modify it. That being said, I think we should go the 
schema.org route because it feels like it communicates the information we are 
trying to add more clearly.
