Recently, I have seen in a couple sites around Australia's meta data AGLS tags.

<meta name="AGLS.Audience" scheme="agls-audience" content="All"/>
<meta name="DC.Publisher" scheme="AglsAgent" content="Hyundai"/>

I have never seen this kind of mark-up before and discovered: http://www.agls.gov.au/

Just wondering whether there is a big community / support out there for the adopting these tags? Any thoughts would be great.
