I don't get it. The big problem with the old meta tags is that nobody follows standards[1], and they were frequently abused to misrepresent the document in a favorable way (especially keywords and description).
How would this help alleviate those problems?
[1] To this day. I've learned, from building a parser for my search engine, you can't just select the <title> tag if you want the title of a page. You need to select the title tag in the <head>-tag. Otherwise you'll get the title-tags people semi-regularly use in the body as well... Like not just hobbyists. Found a major American university that used title-tags to wrap navigational links.
