--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
What has OASIS and the ODF TC worked out from past sessions?

Delving too far into Exif or XMP for the benefit of raster images, with no
appreciable support for other graphics seems kind of short sighted.

I'd much rather see a fully fleshed out treatment of Dublin Core [1] as the
basis for metadata attribute assignment in XML of all objects held in ODF, not
just raster images.

Might be doable with XMP. But, I don't think we want the overhead of
manipulating Exif/TIFF binary headers for images that we convert and manipulate
internally in SVM/BMP anyhow. 

IHMO keeping track of metadata during the image/graphic object lifecycle would
be better handled as with the rest of an object's properties and all objects
with common methods.

That has benefit of allowing us to "anonymize" the objects attributes when that
is preferred/required for privacy.
