Is there any use for auto generated visual studio <meta> tags

We have an old project lying around with these <meta> tags in every page. This website is an intranet web application.

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio 7.0" />
<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="C#" />
<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript" />
<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" />
  • Do they have any value or use?
  • Is it safe to remove them?

I'm using VS2005 if that matters for the intellisense.

Metadata is data (information) about data. <meta> tags always go inside the <head> element, and are typically used to specify character set, page description, keywords, author of the document, and viewport settings. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but is machine parsable.

They have no use for web clients (other then leaking information about your development environment and using up bandwidth) only for your development environment.
