Instead of missing some properties, I'm more concerned about the fact
that the wide variety of XMP properties will put off a number of
potential users and that we have little chance of enforcing
consistency across parser implementations.

That sounds like a good approach. We could make the Tika Metadata
class be an XMPMeta adapter that provides simple getters and setters
for the most commonly used types of metadata. Parsers and clients that
produce or need more detailed metadata can directly access the
underlying XMP model, while others can ignore the underlying
complexity.
