I like this idea, but how about just calling the file File.meta, that way
we can add what ever meta data we want.  If you we a simple key/value pai=
r
style xml file, then plugins could add or ignore article metadata.

What I like about your idea is that if the user doesn't want advanced
metadata they can just work with the system as they do now.  The meta dat=
a
is created just in time so to speak.  It is also backward compatible.

I still think we are going to want more meta data than the file system ca=
n
provide.  For instance I think could be valuable to mark certain files as
drafts, and I think others could think other things they'd like to add.=20
If the mechanism is flexible enough it could be extended by plugins.
