Hi Folks, <br>
<br>
If I may... <br>
I am curious to know what the philosophical issues are.<br>
From the lay-person's pov (mine of course) I don't see what would
be wrong with doing so, if it allows us more flexibility with our
queries. I know Charles' use-case pretty well and I don't know why
one would want that process to be less than smooth. Is the issue of
ease of querying and this metadata sequestration mutually
exclusive? If so... I'd vote for flexibility and ease of querying.<br>

That's why we haven't done it so far.... It's a philosophical
