um I need to make sure we store two copies of the data - one that is 
utf-8 casefolded and utf-8 normalized for search purposes and the 
original for display purposes.

I am not currently doing that for the extracted metadata but we have 
facilities in the db for this so I will work on this shortly.

I would like these in the dbus search interface so all apps can take 
advantage of them. I also need to investigate why some of them are not 
working.

As for the names, I am not sure what to use - maybe kamstrup can suggest 
 a common set for his WASABI stuff? (in the meantime we can use the above)

btw Could also do with a "tag" as well
