The specification introduces the authoring-conformance constraint that a meta generator element must not be used on "hand-authored" pages. However, it does not define what a "hand-authored" page is, and the definition of that term is not obvious.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r7355.
Check-in comment: Clarification. But really, this is a bit of a difficult one to define... one of those 'I know it when I see it' kind of deals.
