-          H1-H3

-          Alt Tags

-          etc.

2.       Is Drupal capable of creating customized and unique metadata?

-          For example, is it possible to integrate metadata formulas to
generate variation amongst large amounts of similar pages

-          Example:  a city page for every city in the world.

3.       Does Drupal allow for the creation of customized SEO image
filenames?

-          Is image alt text customizable?

4.       What SEO features does the forum have for user generated content?

compatibility?

linking?

3.       How does Drupal generate standard webpage breadcrumbs?

a daily basis?

Canonicalization issues?
