  * An MetaInfo holds the meta info which is signed inside the data packet.
+ *
+ * The class allows experimentation with application-defined meta information blocks,
+ * which slightly violates NDN-TLV specification.  When using the application-defined
+ * meta information blocks be aware that this may result in packet drop (NFD and
+ * previous versions of ndn-cxx will gracefully accept such packet).
+ *
+ * The following definition of MetaInfo block is assumed in this implementation (compared
+ * to the NDN-TLV spec, definition extended to allow optional AppMetaInfo TLV blocks):
+ *
+ *     MetaInfo ::= META-INFO-TYPE TLV-LENGTH
+ *                    ContentType?
+ *                    FreshnessPeriod?

+ *                    AppMetaInfo*
+ *
+ *     AppMetaInfo ::= any TLV block with type in the restricted application range [128, 252]
+ *
+ * Note that AppMetaInfo blocks are application-defined and must have TLV type from
+ * the restricted application range [128, 252].
