Thanks Curtis,
for now i'll just use tiffinfo to extract the XML i need..
#!/bin/sh
INFO=$(tiffinfo "$1" 2>&1 | sed -r -n -e '/Warning/b' -e 's/.*Tag 50839:
*//p')
doit() {
node | xmlstarlet fo
}
doit << EOF
console.log(
new Buffer([$INFO])
.toString('utf8')
.replace(/\0|\n/g,'')
.replace(/^[^<]+<\?xml/,'<?xml')
.replace(/\/properties>.*/,'/properties>')
);
EOF

The metadata text is written out to the TIFF using custom tags 50838
and 50839.
Using libtiff's tiffinfo command line tool, you'll see something like:
Tag 50839:
73,74,73,74,105,110,102,111,0,0,0,1,0,72,0,101,0,108,0,108,0,111,0,32,0,119,0,111,0,114,0,108,0,100,0,46,0,46,0,46,0,10,0,71,0,114,0,101,0,97,0,116,0,46
Which must then be decoded to a string.

P.S. Looks like someone submitted a patch to support this in Pillow,
but it is not yet merged:
https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/issues/291. Who knows what
other software already supports it.

Is it possible with FreeImage or any other C library ?..
