That's great. However, it does refer to the spec and BrilliantPhoto is
not written to spec! Which is logical, it is of course designed to
operate uner MS Windows :)

Here, ( http://mar.anomy.net/entry/2005/06/16/00.13.54/ ) it says:
BrilliantPhoto offers four different fields for keyword tags -
"keywords", "people", "event" and "location". Although this logical
seperation seems convenient, only "Keywords" are part of the official
IPTC headers specification. I therefore suggest people play it safe
and put all their tags into the "Keywords" field and leave the other
ones well alone.

Lots of other places complain about the nonspandard use of IPTC in
BrilliantPhoto. Just google for them.
