Also we are talking about changing raster to follow the "by object" approach in the future. But putting the metadata separately makes perfect sense because of possible external location and because it is not so invasive to the current system. I guess these are the same reasons why raster directory layout is what it is. Moreover, even for vector, for attributes in particular, we are not strictly keeping "by object" approach (and we cannot since we want to be able to connect to one external storage). So, I really don't know which approach is better. Maybe, it is really the combination of both. Vaclav
