The only thing we've very briefly entertained is adding more @metadata keys to stuff "things" as associative arrays. James Forrester visualised that 2013-12-12 in the referred thread. Because it was explicitly out of scope for the Localisation format RfC, I think we focused on the RfC contents. Questions: I. If the format that James proposed adequate? II. Should we extend on the existing RfC or create a new one?
