meta tag description

Hi,

maybe I'm missing something, but why in the default page component (I checked both 5.0 and 5.5) in the head.jsp

we find : 

<meta http-equiv="keywords" content="<%= StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(WCMUtils.getKeywords(currentPage, false)) %>"<%=xs%>> <meta http-equiv="description" content="<%= StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(properties.get("jcr:description", "")) %>"<%=xs%>>

instead of <meta name="description" .....   

and <meta name="keywords" ....

Using the "http-equiv" syntax is not seo friendly .

Regards,

Gianantonio.
