Exactly. What you see in CVS is an attempt to a framework for
MakerNotes. Often, MakerNotes are a simple list of values, for example

Brightness: 3420
Contrast: -1.5

The problem is that they are not standardized. And that I don't have the
specifications of any manufacturers' MakerNotes.

If you think the framework that is in CVS is useful, you could code for
example along libexif/olympus. But if you have other ideas on how to
handle MakerNotes, please tell them.
