There is another solution for using it here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/PageTags.aspx

But I don't want to add anything that intrusive to the software just to support master pages, especially since I really haven't gotten any requests from customers to add them (except yours). Our includes system works much simpler and easier, and doesn't require such extensive changes to the page directive.

Can I ask you why you want to use master pages so badly?

Its completely simple to add *any* number of meta tags to the head section using master pages. Add a public method to your master page code behind that adds the tags, then call said method in your page... Here is project I threw together in 2 minutes demonstrating this:

What else am I missing?

Master pages & themes in ASP.NET don't allow for unique meta descriptions on pages, which goes against the whole selling point of an SEO-enabled forum! Please see below in this thread.

I'm kinda confused on what "SEO" has to do with Theming? Or even Master Pages for that matter. Can you clarify?
