It's more like "active content" than "active center"... "active content"
is a way to describe browser extensions such as Netscape Plugins,
ActiveX Controls, and Java applets. It's not just a PNG that sits there;
it can do things itself.
(There's a second sense of "active content" in public discourse which is
semi-related, about how browser extensions usually draw direct-to-screen
and cannot be composited with other browser elements, except in the
special case where WMODE compositing is supported by both browser and
extension.)

This is something I've wanted for a long time too, but my internal
lobbying for this comes up against arguments about having older material
appear more dated than it actually is. I've not yet been sufficiently
persuasive here, but I share your goal for full metadata too.
