Comment 5 for bug 158435

Just to make sure i'm not on the wrong page here:

For handling exif data: we will put in stubs for an interface to do this, but will not do it yet (because the Mekel does not produce exif data in the jpgs it emits). If and when the program is deployed where it does get explicit exif data in its input, then we will fill in the stubs to handle it (trying to take advantage of Hank's expertise here).

However, we will copy the comments from the jpg to the jp2 (since these are the only jpg metadata that we don't yet capture).

Will also put in some provision to copy an xml file into an xml box in the jp2 (which is needed for conformance with the National Digital Newspaper Project's specs for jp2 files: a little bibliographic data is required). (And this xml file will be generated by the calling php code.)

Otherwise plan to continue largely as specified above.

Thanks in advance for any feedback, especially if something looks fishy about this.
