yeah :) or tags are added anyway. But I am offering a mechanism, comes here to 
ask for the change !

Sure and they don't require documentation, so half of those tags are only used 
by a few applications.

Yes and now people are asking for Krita to support multilayer OpenEXR and I 
have a hard time finding information. While with a central place with all the 
information it's much easier ;) And from what I have heard, the multi layer 
things is supposed to move into the spec.

I could also add as an example, Exif, which includes a field where 
manufacturer are allowed to insert whatever data they want, and some of them 
are inserting metadata in that field which could be described in the spec.

I do think the create group is a reasonnable group so that if someone wants 
something, I think it will be easily added.
