Sure. A question might be: if dt can write the sidecar on ingestion it
could do so symmetrically on export (as an option). And I think a work
around if you want to / need to have a sidecar for jpg right now would
just to ingest them. I understood the OP was searching something along
those lines.

I understood that <an unknown big commercial product> uses xml based
definition files (xmp) for the description of the metadata fields and
values available. Sounds complex to do but quite flexible. And probably
even an interesting programming project.

Sure. The "... unfortunately ..." just wanted to stress that
unfortunately there is not yet much to write about. If it would be just
a lack of documentation I think I'd have started writing up something.
