YEP! I get that too with the default - bit I don't WANT the default.
As soon as I put something different in it does not work. I Have a custom field {CATSUMMARY} that I want shown instead of the catdescription. I then have the keywords as in my post above. They do NOT work.
For instance, the following
<meta name="description" content="{CATSUMMARY}" >
<meta name="keywords" content="<IF {CATID} is not 0>{CATNAME},</IF><IF {CATKEYWORDS}>{CATKEYWORDS},</IF> <IF {CATISBENEATH[1]}>{CATNAME} breeders,{CATNAME} breed club,</IF>">

I always used
<meta name="keywords" content="<IF {CATID} is not 0>{CATNAME},</IF><IF {CATKEYWORDS}>{CATKEYWORDS},</IF> <IF {CATISBENEATH[1]}>{CATNAME} breeders,{CATNAME} breed club,</IF> ">
<meta name="description" content="<IF {CATID} is 0>{SITEDESCRIPTION}<OTHERWISE>{CATDESC RIPTION[200]}</IF>">
And it always worked great. However, in v.5 it gets stripped down to...
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<meta name="description" content="{SITEDESCRIPTION}">
Any way we can have this back? or a way round it? Or do I really now have to go through every category and enter custom meta tags?

that would be a bummer for me as I will now have about 600 cats do alter.
However, I tested it by copying and pasting from that page you gave into the admin > seo > default meta tags.
Didn't work - when I saved it it stripped it down to...
<meta http-equiv="description" content="Blah." >
hmm, I suppose I could just put it into my template!

Hi Paul, Did you ever manage to get around to fixing this? If you did the fix didn't work

Using the default meta content:
<IF {TID} contains displaylinks><meta http-equiv="description" content="{CATDESCRIPTIONSTRIPPED}" />
<OTHERWISE IF {TID} contains detail>
<meta http-equiv="description" content="{LINKDESCRIPTIONSTRIPPED}" />
<OTHERWISE>
<meta http-equiv="description" content="{SITEDESCRIPTION}" />
</IF>
Result is: http://www.webmastersite.net/screenshots/4698.jpg

I see a speed optimization killed customized versions. Fixed.
