What is the `edit` attr in a meta tag

Tags:

html

meta-tags

I was looking at jsfiddle's code and saw these lines:

<meta name="description" edit="mootools shell, easy test you snippets before implementing">
<meta name="keywords" edit="mootools,javascript,javascript framework,shell,test">
<meta name="robots" edit="all">

I've never seen the edit attr before. What does it do? I couldn't find any info on w3.org or google

I would bet it's just mistake on their part and the "edit" attribute should have been "content". Maybe you should send them a note and let them know.

Update: I just sent Piotr a note, letting him about it. I'll update my answer with his response (if any).
