I see 2 problems with the metadata spec as is.  First, doing Mapfiles looks
like a PITA.  Second, DMI that is not in FNP formatting looks like a PITA.

Mapfiles:
Currently you have to do a separate part for each lookup name.  I think we
should just allow an alternate syntax for Redirect:

normal-
Redirect
[Name=...]
Target=CHK at ...
EndPart

mapfile-
Redirect
Name.0=...
Target.0=...
Name.1=...
Target.1=...
EndPart

Note also that the wordy DocumentName becomes Name.


DMI:

I propose we allow a trailing section in the metadata to contain metadata in
arbitrary formatting.  This is general purpose but is meant for DMI.  So
people can use RDF XML or whatever.
