Subject: Re: [office] XMP XML:RDF Metadata
Rob,
I agree to your position. In fact, we agreed to add the document to our
document section and to ask for feedback on our normal channels.
I have uploaded the document to our document section now, and I will announce
it on our mailing list in a few minutes.
