From a brief look at the metadata I realized that it is all written in XML. Why don't we make use of that fact? Creating a schema that is backwards and forward compatible?
I think we do that already as far as possible. But there _can_ be changes which would not be covered. First, osc basically saves metadata as it looks like when it comes from the api. Thus, if it is changed upstreams, osc needs to notice. Second, there can be other metadata in .osc, which is not xml. Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!"
