The Windows Enhanced Metafile format isn't specific to Microsoft Office documents, so it probably doesn't belong in POI. Even if we advertise this as rudimentary support only, it would likely generate bug reports for POI, detracting from the time we spend on reading and writing Office documents.
On the same token, POI doesn't maintain code to work with BMP or SVG content, since there are other libraries that can work with this. My vote is for a different project to support EMF files. This has an added benefit of making EMF support for other Java applications without adding POI as a dependency.
