How other search engines see Blogger conditional tags - SEO

Hi there

I've decided to try and tweak my blogger blog by using the built-in
blogger conditional tags.

What I'm trying to do is have a targeted title, description, and set of
keywords unique to each post.

What i've done:

/* This section would only be processed for the main blog page */

<MainOrArchivePage>
<title><$BlogTitle$></title>
<meta name="description" content="My text description would go here"
/>
<meta name="keywords" content="My text keywords would go here" />
</MainOrArchivePage>

/* This section would only be processed for the individual post pages
*/

<Blogger>
<ItemPage>
<BlogItemTitle>
<title><$BlogItemTitle$></title>
<meta name="description" content="<$BlogItemTitle$>" />
<meta name="keywords" content="<$BlogItemTitle$>" />
</BlogItemTitle>
</ItemPage>
</Blogger>

In the second example what I'm doing is assigning my blog post title to
the DESCRIPTION meta tag, and also to the KEYWORD tag. My blog post
titles will be created from keywords relating to whatever I happen to
be writing about.

This works great from what I was able to see using a META analysis
tool. I'm getting very high title/description to content relevancy.
What I'm wondering is how MSN, Yahoo, and other SE's would treat the
tags seeing as how they are burried in the conditional tags. Some META
analysis sites don't show anything for the DESCIRPTION and TITLE tags

Any suggestions? What if I also included an additional set of
DESCRIPTION/TITLE tags outside the conditional tags - after or before
the code I've listed above.

Thanks....
