Hmmm. What about people who choose to have a certain set of smart tags
enabled? Users can control which smart tag handlers are enabled or
disabled (any or none).

IMHO, I (as a web developer) wouldn't want to force my opinions on users
by disabling smart tags via meta tags. Since I (as a user) choose which
smart tag handlers to enable and disable, it would kinda irk me if web
developers presumed I did not want to use my smart tags.

Just a thought...
