I'm a bit confused. I've never used JSP, but I've used just about
everything else and you can fill in META tags in other ways. For
example:
<html><head><title>[fill in here]</title>[META information]</head>
<body>
[Fill in content]
</body>
</html>
I guess it depends a bit on how the template is parsed, but you could
either have a separate script fill in the META information or make
the current code fill in more of the page.

Well, you can do the inverse with noindex_start and noindex_stop.
There are also the poorly-documented and non-DTD <noindex></noindex>
tags (which also block following links).

Sure, you can pretty easily edit the code to make the description tag
parser activate on "htdig-description" as well. I don't know about
making it a general feature--I hesitate when "adding" a new non-DTD
tag.
