My initial instinct -- which I think was right -- is that we do stuff 
like this:

Pictures/meta.xml  -->  metadata file for all images, stored in the 
Pictures dir w/image files
Bibliographic/meta.xml --> bibliographic metadata file

Or alternately store it all in the META-INF directory:

	pictures.xml
	bibliographic.xml
	tables.xml
	license.xml
	contacts.xml

... etc.

Different kinds of (often custom) fields can then be responsible for 
their own metadata files. Would certainly be the case with citations.
