I don't know, but we don't need a program to do that. I could add the following to my manually-created ePubs:

Code:
<meta name="series" content="The Best Trilogy">
<meta name="series-number" content="2">
<meta name="series-total-number" content="3">
I don't do that, but others might, I can't say.

The only problem I have with calibre's tags is that they have "calibre" in their name.
well, calibre established the "standard" so it uses that, the same way the Dublin Core mandates usage of <dc:{element}>.

Would you want calibre to use something that would overwrite other peoples' stuff unintentionally? People could be using all kinds of weird meta tags, and calibre prefaces all the tags it adds with "calibre:" unless it's overwriting a DC element, which has specific ePub meaning attached.
