I need to provide an external identifier (DOI if available, Handle if
not) to our Theme so that it can cobble up a query to a remote
service.

o  This seems like something generally useful.  Would there be others
   interested in having all of an object's identifiers listed in
   <pageMeta>?  Then the Theme can pick whichever it likes best.

o  It's easy enough to enumerate an object's identifiers, but the only
   way to know what kind of identifier this one is, is to guess based
   on the class name of the provider.  Good luck with that, if the
   site has built its own provider.  Is there some reason why
   IdentifierProvider should not be extended with a method to return a
   sort of name for the type of identifiers that it provides?  Any
   suggestions for what should be returned?
