Terry-

         The only reason I can think of doing this might be because then 
the meta tags increase the pages keyword density. In other words, doing 
both, might be a good way to get higher placements. Since, theoretically, 
the meta tags will help you get placed higher and then the increased 
keyword density will also.
         Any thoughts?
