Chris,
I have espoused this sentiment several times. I've been fairly well
beaten down. I don't believe external metadata is a good idea. I don't
want external metadata, and no plugin I write will ever include external
metadata.
But there are enough people who think it's a good idea that I had to do
the same thing I have asked others to do - compromise. I still,
honestly, do not understand the notion that metadata is not intrinsically
part of a plugin. I don't think the case has been made, but I don't
really want to fight that fight again.
Tim
