What I meant by "internal handler system" was an easy way to handle metadata that fits in with the current Client API, as opposed to an "external handler system" which either performs specialized functions (looking up a part for a documentname) or handles the entire request (SimplifiedClient). So I guess my point boils down to "why not make the metadata handling work well with the Client API, so we can avoid code maintenance problems (explicitly adding support for new Parts) and wrappers around traditional Client functionality (using SimplifiedClient)?" -- Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas!
