During a brief look at these examples, I noticed that some of them 
directly touched the field of my work.

I need to give it though a more detailed look and ascertain that this 
method covers the full complexity of the requested and needed feature.

However, I know that a couple of sponsor companies on this TC do have 
commercial interests related to the field of my work and would directly 
benefit from  implementing this functionality within ODF. [The companies 
might have overlooked this elegant solution using ODF.]

I am looking forward to see the meta-data functional within one of the 
open-source ODF-implementations.

Sincerely,

Leonard

*Any content* is very important. Additionally, implementing a complete 
security framework to control all access to and export of elements will 
be needed in my particular field of work. But as stated, some of the 
companies on this list already have commercial interests in the field, 
and reusing ODF seems a wise approach.
