OpenRaster is patterned after OpenDocument, without actually being
OpenDocument. Perhaps its meta.xml might be a better model? It'd be nice
to have somewhere to dump Dublin Core metadata as well.

I'm envisaging at least our own meta:generator and
meta:standards-version, in addition to the dc: ones.

RDF/XML might be an even better model for bags of metadata, at the risk
of making parsing and writing overcomplex. Opinions?
