Has anyone documented mapping the Office metadata to other popular formats such as XMP and MS Office? Such a matrix might be useful for those who actually have to work with metadata on large scale systems.

Yes, these field elements refer to the document that is being edited.
Specifically, their contents come from the similarly-named elements in
"meta.xml".

In principle, yes, all such elements would have the same contents.
Except, for those that have the attribute text:fixed="true": these would
have whatever content they had when the field was marked as fixed, which
may well be different in different instances.

Well, these fields are intended for _displaying_ information in the
content of the document, where the "canonical" version of the information
is already contained at a well-defined location (meta.xml). So imho we
already have option (2.), and i don't really see a problem here.
