Why should it be entered even a _single_ time? Provided, that is, that the meta
data has already been entered in the Document Properties?

Specifically, I noticed that:

* Identifier is not carried over from the Document Properties.
* Author is not carried over from the Document Properties.
* The Date timestamp is arbitrarily zero instead of being taken from either the
current time or the last save time.
* Language... interesting field. Relates to 148257. We should be able to
actually set the language of text, which currently, we can't do. In the mean
time, this should probably be added to Document Properties (I would not support
a style-based approach, although that's also possible).

As for cover image - that should be added to the Document Properties. And
"media directory" - don't know what that is, but might probably fit in Document
Properties as well.

So, bottom line - persistence of Document Properties and keeping relevant data
in there should resolve this problem.
