That sounds really good. I also think that it is a feature which could 
be useful to more people than me. So I think it's a good Idea.

Mh... "how" do you mean when during the process of creation the resource 
object or where / in which kind to store the metadata?
I also think that other metadata like creation time/date, perhaps GPS 
data, usw. should be stored, too. Or what other kinds of metadata do you 
think of?

Thanks for the hint, I'll give it a try during my holidays, which start 
today at 18:00 german time... :)

You think of storing in CDN, S3 or general Cloud storing?
Ok, even if I don't think of applications in dimensions which would need 
these techs, i think this is a exciting topic. I'll have an eye on that.

Ok so long,
greetings from the south (Allgäu),
