I have just realized that the component com_tags systematically adds space in metadesc & metakey fields of the table #__tags
This causes meta site are substituted for those of the tag, since they are never empty.
This bug occurs on a Joomla 3.4.5, but not 3.4.1

Steps to reproduce the issue

Save a tag with empty metadesc. Reopen, i have a space

Expected result

empty

Actual result

System information (as much as possible)

joomla 3.4.5

Additional comments

none

Confirmed on Joomla 3.5.0-beta, but not sure if it's really a bug.

I might be wrong on this, but it seems that Joomla forces the space character just to make sure that the related HTML meta-tags are created having no possible-misleading content for SEO, meaning that the overall description of the site and/or its keywords, may be very different of what those could be for a particular tag's own page.

Would be great to have someone with more experience having a status on this matter tho.

Best regards.

Please read comments in PR and related issue.
I would remove metadesc and metakey completely from tags. Complete nonsense.
