HTML 4 #REQUIREs the 'content' attribute for <meta>. It does not require

a 'name' attribute isn't defining any meta data. Is there a reason why
these attributes are nonetheless all optional in WA1?
What would it mean for them to be required?
It would mean that leaving the attribute out violates a conformance
requirement, making the document non-conformant.
