Is http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/RPM_metadata#SUSE_repository_info_.28sus e info.xml.29.2C_extensions_to_repomd.xml really used? Neither the 11.2 OSS repo nor the OBS repos provide it. So, not sure if the package management tools take it into account.
The data are parsed and offered to the applications (zypper, yast...). We'd add more support to help applications evaluating and describing those repository/product relationships, if those data were actually provided.
At least the openSUSE update repositories do use it to add an expiry timestamp to the repository.
But what's the problem with CPEids? [http://cpe.mitre.org/specification/index.html] Looking at the official cpe-dictionary, then one finds e.g. cpe:/o:novell:opensuse or cpe:/o:novell:suse_linux:10::server or cpe:/o:novell:suse_linux:10::desktop ...
