Hi Chris (and others)

Well I have been thinking about it all morning :-)
I was thinking about doing something to the metadata tool so it could
use different metadata implementations (specify them through ZMI). In
that order you could say that your Images should use DublinCore metadata
but your media events should use MPEG-7 ... :-)
Sort of like with the workflow tool ... I think :-))

Can inadvertantly make people's heads explode when attempting
to explain how something works, rendering them unable to think
very well for a while.
