RE: [Openexr-devel] EXIF meta data attributes in headers

[Chris Cox]

EXIF is not text based, it is mostly binary and relates to camera settings.
It does have some options for comments, copyrights, etc. 

XMP is always text based (XML).

I must admit that I know next to nothing about EXIF and XMP,
but don't both have a standardized text representation?
If this is the case, then all it would take to store them
in an OpenEXR file would be a string attribute called,
for example, "EXIFdata" or "XMPdata".
