I think it was the W3C, as I saw in another topic. But coding has always been a mystery to me, as in, how it works. Can the people who made HTML code change things, like, add a new tag, and then anybody can just use that tag and it will work? How does that work? Does the change propagate throughout the world or something? Whoever answers all this will make me a very satisfied person.

Then the W3C adds a new tag, browsers will have to update in order to reflect the new tag. Coders can then use the new tag and the updated browsers will use it correctly.

Some browsers will display it correctly

Well, some tags are meant for behind-the-scenes work, such as <meta>, <title>,etc. When <meta> was invented, current browsers couldn't use <meta> properly because they weren't "programmed" to understand what it should do when it came across the tag. When companies like Microsoft updated their browsers to understand the <meta> tag, it could be used to get a description, keywords, redirect, etc, while the old browsers would skip the tag.
So while some tags are used for display (CSS is made to divide between content and appearance), others are used for the browser only.

Oh I get it. W3 for the three Ws, "World Wide Web", and the C for Consortium. It all makes sense now.

lol, Thats what I think it is.
I think google itself introduced a new <Meta tag fearure to control the Google bot. And also ,meta tags are used for a lot of things these days.
In Google webmaster tools, we can verify site ownership by a meta tag, I think the <meta> tag is quite flexible .
