I find that this explain quite well why I believe the archive need to be
the best and easiest place to find the information in the archive, for
the archive to contain good quality metadata.  Information that is used
regularly will be improved by those that use it regularly, if they can
improve it.  Just look at Wikipedia.

It also explain why it is futile to expect the vendors to solve the need
for good metadata spesifications, and why one should use automatically
generated instead of manually added metadata when possible. :)
