I have not been able to find a list of possible metadata fields.  Is it
a fixed list or can we make up our own metadata fields?

But I did investigate PDF/A and embedded files.  Embedding unspecified
content in PDF/A is allowed in PDF/A-3 (strangely enough), but this is
not allowed according to the Noark 5 standard.  Luckily, as it would
accept files that could not be interepreted in the future.  So storing
emails like proposed using PDF/A-1 (currently accepted) or PDF/A-2
(might become accepted) is not possible.

Btw, why isn't Noark 5 simply accepting emails as emails into the
archive?  In other words, plain text with header \n\n body.  Perhaps we
should send them a proposal for this?  Where are new formats proposed?
Noark 5 should simply accept IETF RFC 5322 formatted emails.  Anything
else is simply going to be a cludge.
