Not if you provide a tool that converts the on-disk data :-))
For example, my music collection consists of several hundreds of folders
with hand-tuned attributes. I really wouldn't like to need to go over
all of them manually.
I'm not sure why giving control to the lower layers would mean breaking
compability, though.
