(proposal) on metadata in documents

[smlckz at tilde.pink]

I am proposing a convention of putting human and machine readable metadata 
in documents (in ''geminisphere''). This is completely optional for 
document writers.

The metadata should be placed at the end of the document so that the 
viewers can view the content first.

For now, I am proposing the following metadata for inclusion in documents 
(all of which is optional):

*  the date (and maybe time) when the document was published

*  the date (and maybe time) when the document was last modified

*  copyright information and/or license of the document

IMO, we should use ISO 8601 for the date/time in metadata.

The clients may use the information, but may not hide the metadata.
The spiders/bots can also use the information
(when indexing/archiving documents) as well.

Now the question for you is how the metadata is formatted?
Please share your thoughts on it.
