if we do this, lets make sure it plays nicely with JCR nodetypes
i am pretty sure there is a API to enumerate the elements in a schema, 
but i cant find it right now

This way we could get rid of pre-defined implementations and allow
arbitrary meta data. The restriction is that there's a 1:1 mapping of
meta data and namespace URIs.
.. which is probably not a real problem
An even simplier approach would be to allow the storage of custom meta
data entries without configuration, i.e. without any restriction:
  metaDataManager.setValue(namespaceUri, prefix, key, value);
easier, but means you cannot discover the possible values for a given 
metadata ns
