"Could" being the operative word here. See, I don't understand where do you 
expect this info to actually come *from*. Somebody has to type in those 
thousands of meta-descriptors into the carrier file, after all.

It might as easily be done with the extended SDF/FDS/whatever as with XLIFF, 
but resources ought to be dedicated beforehand. And so, in the case of 
hypothetical format switch resources ought to be dedicated "twice". That's why 
I strongly doubt the format switch at this juncture would facilitate the 
filling of the meta-info slots.
