It's one of the ways that DNG files can be less maintenance. You don't need to carry around .xmp files to handle the metadata: the DNG carries all the appropriate settings in one file. IPTC data is also embedded into the DNG container from Bridge and Lightroom. You can output an .xmp if you so desire at any time from a DNG, and import added metadata from templates too.
