What what stuff would that be, out of curiosity?

At least my own idea of this topic would be to have XML docs as a small
part of the metadata stream.  You send a timecode, and a length, and
then all the information is in a complete XML doc that defines the
event.  Or is this where you're saying we're losing the usefulness?  A
binary format is possible too I guess, I just figured XML is easier to
generate and hack with...
