Yes. I am just repeating myself...;)

I would tend to make all this stuff configurable to be flexible:

Configuration 1:
Selection: 
- Include no documents after OCR (probably the default)
- Include all documents after OCR 
- Include only those documents missing some metadata (configured in
  Configuration 2).

Configuration 2:
A list of metadata fields to be checked after OCR. If the metadata of the
document are missing one of the configured fields, the document is added to the
queue.

From what I read so far, changes in south migration could not be trivial. But I
didn't dive deep enough into the topic until now to be of real help there.
