Oh, man.  Don't invite another flame war. ;)

source material, versus information that applies to the encoding.  I was using "metadata" to refer 
to the latter.

Hey, cool by me.  But I agree with Mr. Morton - this type of data fits better in the informal class of 
metadata / information / whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
