I don't see any real reason why we should use this.  IMHO this would
be how metadata should be set up in Freenet:

Format:
<name>=<value>

Note that items in brackets are optional.

Standard:

Usage=file
Content-type=<MIME type>
Name=<name>
[Keywords=<comma/space separated keywords>]
[Summary=<a short summary - longer than just a name>]
[Author=<author>]
[Date-created=<creation date>]
[Date-updated=<last update date>]

fnindex:

### Searching will make this obsolete ###

fnnews:

Usage=fnnews
Newsgroup=<newsgroup>
    Note that this intentionally doesn't support crossposting
Subject=<subject>
[From=<poster>]
Date=<date posted>
[Keywords=<comma/space separated keywords>]
[Summary=<a short summary - longer than just a name>]

fnmail:

Usage=fnmail
To=<mailbox>
    Note that this intentionally doesn't support multisending
Subject=<subject>
[From=<sender>]
Date=<date sent>
To-public-key=<*receiver's* public key>
From-public-key=<sender's public key>
    This is required - *all* fnmail-type mail is encrypte
[Keywords=<comma/space separated keywords>]
[Summary=<a short summary - longer than just a name>]
