Ability to add META to top of generated HTML

the ability to add META to the generated HTML code. The following example would turn off caching.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-store" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Programming Languages
    Product - Business Developer

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Rational
    Product family - Design & development
    Product - Business Developer

    Perhaps I will be overstating the obvious, but it should be clear that a solution which simply affects caching will miss the mark.

    For example, I have had to embed the RichUI-based app into an HTML-based iFrame just so the app's DOJO components persist on the screen when running under IE7.



    The entry above was placed into the HTML to remedy the problem.

    There may also be other issues beside thisl, for example .XLS and other file format support.

    We agree that this would be a useful enhancement, and we will consider it in our planning for future releases. We do not have a time frame for when it might be implemented.
