jel, ICRA works if you own a few domains, and have pages that are all made in a way that you can easily do a search and replace to add the tags.

Would you like to take a few minutes of your time and register 1000+ domains for me? Would you like to provide me a simple system to manage and handle the 1000 different tags that I will have to maintain?

ICRA is an acceptable (but cumbersome) idea for a single domain. It is a freaking nightmare when things start to scale up.

I would like nothing more than a simple tag where I can make a single pass through my servers and say "replace the /body tag with a meta tag followed by the /body tag" and be done with about 80% of the work in a few minutes. It would not take long for each and every adult webmaster in our community to do the same thing. Every static page would be fixed in one go.

The only thing that would remain would be going back and handling pages that are generated on the fly with scripts and whatnot, and that honestly would not be anywhere near the job of handling all those ICRA tags.

Plus, honestly, why do I have to register with some third party? The best solutions are the simplest solutions, not complicated registries and coding.

ICRA is a good in theory, a time consuming management nightmare in reality.
