This is a few months old but I've been looking at this recently and
since we're unlikely to move to a structured metadata store in the short
term I've come up with what I think is an interim solution [1] that
essentially allows nesting through XPath-like syntax:
stream[0]/field1=someValue
stream[0]/field2=otherValue
stream[1]/field1=yetAnother
stream[1]/field2=andSoOn
Doesn't that loose information (from some formats at least) on what those
streams are, and how they relate to each other?
It does have a certain simplicity that I like, and should be fairly easy
to write some simple wrappers to let you get access to per-stream stuff
easily
