Damjan Jovanovic commented on SANSELAN-21:
------------------------------------------
No, at least 79 cases of TIFF tag duplication exist in the code, hardcoding
which tag directories are matched inexactly seems too error-prone.
The real problem here is that Sanselan hasn't solved the problem of inexact tag
matching. The many hacks and commented out code in TiffField's getTag() method,
and the fact it searches through only EXIF tags instead of all tags, show there
is a serious problem. I'll have to see what other EXIF tools do in this case.
