why metadata for media collection entries should not be editable?

i see lot of value in ability to attach metadata to media entries and be
able to edit it (for start tagging/categories for images).

this capability would be consistent for both media and entry collections
if atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"edit"] points to place where atom:entry can be edited
and new relation is used to point where to PUT/DELETE binary data (like
rel="mediaedit"). what was mentioned before rel="edit" with type
<>"application/atom+xml" seems to be harder and implies that multiple
representations are possible - which one would be main media
representation ...

thanks,
