FYI- I happened to run across this: http://java.sun.com/products/jmi/
"java metadata interface"
Has anyone else seen this?
I'm not sure if this will have any impact on what we are trying to do, but until all the options are examined (including Murray's), I think the code should stay in the "addons" directory.
I do feel that eventually, a metadata implementation should be part of the main trunk...

ready for inclusion in the Xindice tree.
Murray Altheim would like to add the XNode API somewhere in the tree and the idea of having a "xindice-addons" project makes more and more sense. I haven't take a look at your MetaData implementation but could it be possible to include this into an external project?
The idea would be to keep the core of Xindice as slick as possible and have some external module to add functionalities.
Is this possible with your MetaData extension?
