Non-sequential acceptance and implementation of new Core Metadata features and changes

I would like to see more consensus from interested parties (in particular, maintainers of some of the tools that create metadata, who are the people affected) that this is OK with them. I don’t care how we collect that consensus - I’ll leave that to you. I’m not looking for a vote, or everyone to be asked to respond, but I do want the change to be based on more than just me having said it seems reasonable…
