The Metadata object can only represent document-level metadata, so it's not suitable for things like: * this paragraph is written in French * the bounding box of this word is X on PDF page Y * this phrase is a hyperlink to URL X * these words denote a physical address XHTML attributes are a perfect way to represent such annotations. It would be great if we could leverage some of the applicable microformat standards like hCard to simplify downstream use of such information. BR, Jukka Zitting
