Not good - too many documents are created by copying others and
replacing their contents. Which is why metadata when it exists is almost
always false (just what the software autofiled during the creation of
the root doc)

If you want to keep is simple - just use the filename.
If you want it to be accurate - metadata is as insufficient as the
filename (and often worse - at least the filename must be kept unique in
a single dir)
