access it via the LenyaMetaData. This generic "metadata = simple attributes" approach does, I agree, imply that arbitrary, nested XML is not possible within the metadata. So the decisive question is, do we really need such XML within the metadata ? (IMO no)

i also think that the answer tends to be no, which in turn means it is a piece of cake to make these attributes into jcr properties

To summarize, IMO it is in fact good code to encapsalute (non-DC) metadata within LenyaMetaData, including the name of the attributes, and any component needing access does something like
   metaData.getFirstValue(LenyaMetaData.WHATEVER_ATTRIBUTE)

seems to me to be a difference whether the knowledge about attributes should reside centrally in LenyaMetaData, or decentrally with the various components. each has their strengths, but until we have very loose coupling between lenya components, i don't see much harm in having this knowledge centralized.

Any issues other than getting current meta attributes about a document should not be handled via the MetaData interfaces.

explain?
