    You would be surprised how complex the issue of metadata can be in case 
    of OpenDocument. E.g. I recently talked to philologist researchers, who 
    e.g. would like to annotate greek texts with meta data. We had a short 
    discussion about meta data support in OpenDocument, which is different 
    to your requirements. What I learned from that is, that we definitely 
    need to do some fundamental research. As a researcher I'm sure you 
    agree, that a broader approach is called for, given the depth of the 
    issue. We should not rush this and focus on special cases (e.g. 
    bibliography). I also believe that users of OpenDocument will appreciate 
    this.
    
    Best regards,
    
    Florian
