I don't have any strong feelings either way, but if the providers do it, might be most natural to do it that way in Deltacloud too, and accept X-DC-META-KEY headers. Of course, that will make it next to impossible to set metadata from the browser, but the HTML interface is really for exploration, and not for serious uses of Deltacloud. David
