That's Adobe's way of encapsulating it. But what it provides is just
metadata. Other formats do it in a different way. The Media
Annotations WG have identified a large set of files that have such
metadata, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-mediaont-10-20100608/#mapping-table
.

I was only referring to the abstract concept of encapsulated metadata.
