I don't mind the idea of meta being hosted at AO3, but I do think the archive needs some kind of top level categorisation for the different kinds of fanworks, rather than relying on users tagging, because many of them don't bother if they indicate the content in some other way. I'd love to see fic, art, podfic, vids, filk, meta etc each having a filterable category, and it being a mandatory part of the upload form. That way if you're looking for something in particular you can find it easily.
I'd be very wary of any attempts to screen meta for quality but an FAQ or guide post talking about meta might be a good idea, just to give guidelines as to what meta means.
