Is it possible to use the meter tag and the progress tag for the same purpose?

Progress shows how much of something (a task, for example) has been completed. Its attributes (aside from the usual global ones) are value and max only. The minimum is set at zero. So, it is showing a value between zero and the maximum.
Meter has more attributes in addition to value and max. There is min, low, optimum, high and form.
It shows a measurement of something, like a thermometer, fuel gauge, or battery remaining.
So low may be a value above the minimum, which shows your fuel tank is not yet empty but is getting low, so you know to make a stop soon before it runs out.
High is similar at the other end of the scale, so for example, a meter measuring your CPU temperature may alert you when itâs running too hot. Then optimum defines the level where it is just right.
Typically, progress is one way change from zero to max. While the meter value may fluctuate in either direction, depending on its function.

Please don't use the "progress" and "meter" elements for the same purpose.
Use them for there intended purpose as outlined in my first post.
