Re: Metadata document v0.0.1

Hi Jeni,

Looks nice - quick observations for your consideration / dismissal:

- should it support the ability to offer a default value for fields where the value is missing?
  > if so, this impacts the constraints section

- should it be possible to declare a NULL value to support e.g. \N from MySQL dumps.  
  > if so, impacts constraints as well

- should it support the ability to offer a fixed field applicable to all rows, but not present in the CSV to allow data enrichment?
  > probably outside current scope, but we find very useful to annotate data in the use case I proposed today

HTH, 
Tim
