[Flac] flac and metadata

The recent thread on archiving CDs with flac has prompted me to ask a
few questions about flac and metadata:

1.1) It appears that metaflac only imports limited information from a
cuefile.  Text data (ie: Title, Artist) and any comments are removed
from the file.  I can kind of see eating the comments, but why are the
perfectly valid text fields not getting saved?

1.2) Alternately is there some other method of tagging the tracks in a
single large flac file so each track can have proper artist/title
information?

2) Is there any way to store CD-TEXT data in the flac file along with
the cue sheet?

I very much like the way things are headed, with a single flac file (and
embedded cue sheet) able to look like a CD to audio players, but along
these lines it would be nice if all data necessary to create an accurate
duplicate of the original CD could be stored in the flac file as well.
