Quite a few. For example, if a file is size 0 and it is an image, height 
and width should probably be set in any case. Right now, we don't set 
any data. Some applications will EXPECT some ontology data to ALWAYS be 
present and this is the problem.

Really I think it would be nice if the ontology standards could detail this.
