METS is one standard that some people use. I don't use it myself. I do 
use lots of other standards (Dublin Core, OAI...) and I'd like to be 
able to put that data in there.

We seem to be getting at least three different proposals completely 
confused now. The METS thing arose out of Peter's idea of creating a 
binary zip format for a TEI package. The xenoData thing is a place to 
put _any_ metadata in a non-TEI namespace. The <standoff> element (as I 
understand it, at least) is a place to put standoff TEI markup that 
doesn't have a natural home.

Cheers,
Martin
