--- Comment #5 from Marcel Wiesweg <marcel.wiesweg at gmx.de> ---
You are right, sidecars are very much underspecified. In particular, the
important MWG guidelines which talk about reconciliation between the different
formats dont care about sidecars at the moment.

In the absence of a written standard, one source is to look at other software
supporting sidecars, and to think about what is possible and what not.

Removal is really an important point, please see bug 309058 and our
implementation in KExiv2::Private::loadSidecarData. In fact, if there is a
sidecar which does not contain a comment, then we will not use the comment from
the file, as it is removed from the XMP sidecar which "dominates".
