I was thinking about special Baloo stuff (such as tags and comments) which do
not depend on the particular file type (I didn't mean e.g., the bit rate in an
mp3 file or the width and height of an image). I think Baloo (since a few years
ago, anyway) stores/extracts metadata of the first kind into/from extended
attributes. But I don't know that much about this...so maybe I'm wrong
