Summary
The public LXML scraper drops standard metadata such as
<meta name="Description" content="Page summary">. HTML standard metadata names are ASCII case-insensitive, but the three current selectors require lowercase names.Match description, keywords, and author names with XPath ASCII translation. Preserve content casing, first content-bearing tag order, missing/empty content behavior, and all Open Graph/Twitter handling. The legacy BeautifulSoup helper is outside this change.
