Hi there,

I wonder about the treatment of different pieces of HTML header
information in org-html--build-meta-info: Contents for the title
element are computed by org-export-data.  This interprets Org markup
such as italics or hyperlinks although title elements are not
allowed to contain the resulting sub-elements.  Why is
org-export-data applied?  Why not produce plain text?

Contents for the description and keywords meta attributes are
computed with org-html-encode-plain-text and replacement of
quotation marks.  Seems fine to me.

Contents for the author meta attribute are computed with
org-element-interpret-data, before org-html-encode-plain-text and
quotation mark replacement are applied.  How would author
information look like that benefits from this more complex treatment
(compared to description and keywords)?

Thanks
Jens
