As I said I buy into this. To a certain extent.

I know. Therefore, an easy(?) way out in the dt-context would be to
allow /exporting DNG/, which is what I suggested. To add the existing
xmp to an existing DNG is no problem indeed, perfectly agree. (Could be
done in the export as well, I think. Would be easier for the
non-commandliners.)
Anyway, for most RAWs you start out you need a way to go to DNG first.
For this I see no easy option, yet. (Well, the main option at the moment
requires quite a large runtime and a virtual box with file sharing...)
