Do you mean the API would give the caller the source text of the XMP blob and the implementation of the API (a browser) wouldn't include an RDF processor? (Even so, getting this close to XMP looks like a slippery slope towards including various RDF machinery next.) I think any work in this area should be firmly grounded in use cases. (So far, the Danny's use case of building a content indexer for a client-side search engine or catalog doesn't seem compelling enough to me to bother extending the platform, because content indexing seems to be an area that is distinctly well-suited for the *server* side.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
