   From an IPTC point of view, the keywords must stay in the image
   since the beginning, without the need of an export phase. Otherwise
   the potographer would have to remember that he cannot upload photos
   directly but that he has to export them before.

BTW, how does this interact with the new Canon cameras that can verify
that a photo is not modified (presumably using a cryptographic
checksum or the like)?
