IMO, it is not necessary for ccHost to embed the metadata into the SVG
itself, as we have been doing.  It *is* however necessary for ccHost
to save the metadata that we need, in a location that we can access,
in a format that can be parsed automatically.

Screenshot upload is not something that should hold up rollout of
this.  It is not essential to the site's core functionality and can be
added later.

Yes, quite.

The CSS also needs work.  (Specified foreground color on unspecified
background color makes for unreadable text...  quite aside from the
complete lack of any visual similarity to the rest of the site.)

I can maybe work on that some today.  I will try to do my changes as
an alternate stylesheet, so that they are not the default while I'm
working on them and can be made the default later when they're ready.
(The only trouble here is that MSIE doesn't support alternate
stylesheets correctly and tries to use *all* of them, so IE users
may see some of the experimental styles before they are officially
ready for primetime.  I'm not sure what's to be done about that.)
