Probably correct, but the exact fields needed can vary. Personally, I have no 
use for a 'person in image' field or similar, but the taxonomy fields could be 
useful :P

Also note that exiv2 (or exiftools) are only there to give you access to the 
metadata within the image, they do not impose the use of specific fields. So 
remarking on the library Digikam uses is a red herring wrt. this discussion.

Also, dt will only use the XMP version: sidecars have no room for the original 
IMM/IPTC format.
