I've seen quite a few. One recent example is bug-assist.js — a script
that makes it easy for readers of a document to file bugs about it —
that looks for all metadata names that start with "bug." and uses the
remainder of the name as parameters to a Bugzilla bug entry.

Yes, I'm well aware. I even have a patch for that bug. It was just the
first example that came to mind; meta is often the first thing that
developers reach for. If the validation errors on metadata names served
a clearly useful purpose I'd suggest waiting it out until using data-*
becomes more of a reflex, but that doesn't seem to be the case so the
pain inflicted in the meantime doesn't appear to be useful.
