There are some usages where this works. However, what we want
to do here at the lab is put the metadata in the HEAD so that
it can't get lost. Then we harvest that info for our metadata
service. This is similar to the existing uses of META, we just
want more representational richness.

Gee, Murry, no. It was a total surprise to me. :-)
It is a good suggestion for shared metadata, but
