yes publisher sounds important - not sure if this data is embbeded 
anywhere other than rss though. Is it generic enough to go in the file 
class? Well I guess it will have to if there is no where else. (have 
added it to spec)

yes cause its not stable!

Also I think a pure metadata spec is probably more suitable for 
freedesktop at this stage. I imagine there will be seperate specs for 
shared dbus interfaces for lots of things (music players, text editors, 
etc)
