Another point is that you can't actually store all of the information KPA 
manages in IPTC, particularly the meta meta data such as the hiearchical 
relationships between locations, or persons, or whatever other categories 
you've added.

That doesn't mean that you couldn't also write what you can in IPTC tags, but 
it does mean that you need something besides IPTC if you're going to handle 
the sophisticated categorization schemes that KPA supports.
