I still think it might be worth documenting -- as far as what consistent bits we should try tacking on to rich media... and it is pretty impressive that they've been able to carry the embedded metadata throughout their apps (though that's one nice benefit of controlling the whole workflow). I wonder if anything akin to their cross-app leverage could be achieved with a more open, more microformat-like solution without becoming a vertical monopoly?
The ideal solution would be for Adobe to open up XMP and revise it as part of an open process. There are some technical limitations in XMP [1][2][3] that are related to how they chose to subset RDF. But I think for these use cases, their decision to use RDF was the right one. Background: I'm on the OpenDocument Technical Committee and the new Metadata Subcommitttee. We've had conversations about including something like XMP in ODF, and it was actually Adobe that started that conversation.
