a) "Loosing" the meta-data is IMO _always_ a risk, whether you have it in a
subdir or not. (Of course not if you move/copy/etc with "aware" programs).

b) Even if the original convention would be to use basename.xmp, I'd suggest
to:

_write_ <fullname.xmp> ... (perhaps except a user - for compatibility reason -
configures manually not to do so)

_read_ both styles (perhaps even with and without things like a .metadata-dir.
In cases where it's not clear which file is meant (e.g. when having
basename.xmp) the metadata could simply be taken for all versions of that file.
