Sure, this could all be kept out of the source code itself and stored
externally, like Glade.  My point was that the logic for what to
display and how to display it is what's important here, more so than
simply a list of fields.  Your TileMetadata is a good way to filter
and perhaps order the data, but it lacks any layout which makes it
little better than key-value.
