Having read briefly the specification, there are some things that worry me. I
might have misunderstood the specification.

How does CUT/COPY/PASTE behave?

More precisely, is the META-data lost?
This would be bad.

Although the meta-data content will be often accessed/extracted by external
applications (scripts, other programs), user actions like CUT/COPY/PASTE need to
preserve this meta-data, too. I hope this is kept in mind when implementing this
issue.

The point is, the major use of meta-data is in *reusing content*, so there is
really no difference between manual reuse (cut/copy/paste) and automatised reuse
(meta-data extraction by external applications). If the text-object looses its
meta-data during cut/copy/paste than the most useful feature gets lost. The
meta-data was a single use issue.

Sometimes it might be necessary to strip away all/some meta-data, BUT this is a
completely different issue (and needs to be addressed within the security
framework). This is not an issue of meta-data per se.

So, I would keep these 2 issues separate and always preserve the meta-data.
