You can't use path.exists() on metadata published by a webservice (or still inside a zipfile), but you can download or read the main metadata file. Still, I don't really care whether or not such a field indicating the presence of custom metadata is added, I'm mainly registering a strong -1 on allowing extension fields (in the form of X- headers or CSS style prefixed headers) in the metadata file itself.
