Argh, I was just going to post about that :)
Yes, very interesting document. Behind it are leading names in industry:
Adobe (de facto standard in image processing),
Apple (favorite OS of creative professionals),
Canon (one of two top professional camera producers),
Microsoft (most popular OS),
Nokia (top seller of cameras, no joking; de facto KDE overlord),
Sony (who? ;).
In few years these guidelines will be implemented in all levels - from
cameras, through professional software, to consumer software.
These document tries to systematize reading, displaying and writing of
metadata formats.
I think these guidelines are well thought and worth implementing.
