I won't say your use of 'meta-' is incorrect, but it is different from
what I have usually seen it to mean. Language about language is
metalanguage. Mathematics about mathematics is metamathematics.
cf. Hofstadter.
If we must use the term 'metameme' your way, we could differentiate
between "metamemes as a class" (your definition) and "The Metameme"
(my definition).
(Actually I guess this is different thread. :-)
