And if the database is corrupted you lose meta-data.  
Bad! Redundency is good.

Even if Digikam NEVER used them except to rebuild it's database,
it's not unreasonable to support them, especially if there is some
standard format for them.

This may make it easier for importing and exporting data to other photo
programs.

E.g. you could have a manual: Export Metadata to XMP files.
And a verify XMP.  When digikam exported it, it saved a checksum in it's
database.  If the XMP now has a different checksum, then something besides
digikam has played with it.  If digikam has never seen it before, it's a
potential way to get info into digikam.

I would ask that you consider using a small value for 'never'  (grin)
