As Darktable use a dedicated way to store these information, it will
be more logic to extend it to at least store Color Label in urgency.
Like this DT will be compatible with NX and DK...

This want mean to store only ONE color label in urgency XMP tag.
Probably the last one assigned...

I never seen more than one color label assigned to an item, in pro
photo application. This want not mean that a bad idea of course...
