Very good idea. I haven't examined either specification, so I don't
know what conventions are used, though... and what conventions _should_
be used.

By the way, gitweb uses in HTML header the following (see
git_header_html subroutine):

  <meta name="generator" content="gitweb/$version git/$git_version$mod_perl_version"/>

which tries to follow convention how _web servers_ like Apache return
version information in the 'Server:' HTTP response header (product
tokens). Because it was used on only one place, it was not put into
separate subroutine; should it now?

I'd rather use '"' for attributes, i.e.

+		print "<generator version=\"$version/$git_version\">gitweb</generator>\n";
