Injecting an unrelated contract into the WSDL created by WCF's MEX provider

I am implementing a WCF service (Contract A) that will eventually make calls to a standalone service (Contract B) hosted by the client. At design-time when the client queries my service's WSDL to build its proxy, I'd like to include the WSDL for Contract B so the client can build its service around that. Unfortunately, I can't figure out...

What are considered repeated "words" in meta keywords tags?

I realize that keywords and descriptions are old-school SEO techniques and many search engines ignore them. However, it seems like it's good practice to still include them in your HTML pages. One of the best practices I've read concern not repeating keywords in the header tags. My question is then, what exactly is a repeat? For instanc...
