I think this is what's being suggested. What I heard from people at Apple was
that we don't necessarily know what type of metadata we're looking at, so maybe
it would be better to have separate tracks for each type like we have now, and
then have some sort of "we don't know what type this is" metadata track? I'm
not sure that track would ever be useful to web authors though.
