Well, I don't know if I am spoiled by the framework I use for xml, but for me 
accessing an attribute of an element is as simple as "red = 
element.attribute("r",0.0).toDouble()" :) The two reasons we went for that 
form is that in "1 1 1" the order of channels is not specified, and it is also 
not possible to validate it with a schema (there have been changed on XML 
schemas to also validate data, but I don't know if it would work in that 
case).

What are the choice ? I think we would aim to use things like RDF/XMP, but 
neither of them are "simples", so I don't know if we should not also have a 
simple metadata spec that we can reuse (something based on dublin core, 
maybe).
