Proper use of our meta tags. If you choose to use our meta tags, such as our keywords tag or standout tag, ensure that you are using these tags correctly.

May be for Google News but still.

yeah, that's for Google News publishers. for that G does rely on keyword metatags and includes those in the news sitemap. you get to use up to 12 too!

Had a feeling it was just for news but it indicates they do pay attention to them at times.

I mean I wouldn't sit down and rollout a meta keyword update to a site but if I do the descriptions/titles I usually include a few on the page.
