The node shouldn't handle Metadata. People can put any library
wrapppers around FCP they like. If clients want high-level access, use
the library. If not - don't. I don't even think that fproxy should be
tightly in the node. There should be a FCP fproxy which handles
Metadata for the browsers, and the metadata handling can be split off
it other people want it.
