I was vaguely aware of this, and did some related work with our
media.mozGetMetadata call. I eventually dropped that project: there was
little feedback that developers found native metadata exposure useful.
For Firefox OS we just re-parse the resource in js.

This spec is better than it was when I last looked early this year in
that it's much smaller and cleaner. It's still complex, but it does
define standard objects for expressing common metadata properties, which
is useful. There remains considerable work in defining how to fill in
those objects from data embedded in various image, audio and video
formats in use on the web.

Thus I think we can be positive about this recommendation, but I don't
expect we will be the first to implement it. I would like to see some
maturity as a standard interface for js libraries and web services
before implementing it natively.

Editorial: Section 4.3.2 Examples in Javascript "it's" should be "its".
