Besides the arguments discussed, another reason why not to store this in the metadata of RAW images, even if technically possible (at least for TIFF-like RAW formats), is that most RAW specs are proprietary and the available specs are reverse-engineered. So it is usually not known if adding the IPTC tag (for example), even if it’s possible, is within the original specs. Other software - maybe that from the camera vendor - may not like images with such an added tag.

To answer Gilles' question, IPTC application records 4 and 5 look like candidates for this, although the IPTC standard is not very clear on that.
