Having been on this list from the beginning, I can say that the
majority (I would say nearly all) of the proposals have not gone
anywhere. Why? Because it's easy to make a proposal, it's
apparently impossible to get anyone to actually *implenent* the damn
things, even as a "proof-of-concept". That people are lazy is an
incredible filter.

The metadata proposal is very simple and I doubt that implementationis a real obstacle.

Proof-of-concept: I did it in Agunua.
