Sounds like a good idea!

I reviewed your spec based on my experience from trying to create a
RELAX NG schema for all metadata.xml files that were in the tree at
the time. I assume you've also validated your spec against what's
actually being used? I have a few questions:

- I had the upstream maintainer's email element pegged as mandatory.
Don't you think that makes sense? A name-only maintainer element seems
relatively low-value to me.
- You list a number of the upstream child elements (changelog, doc,
bug-to) as "zero or more". Doesn't it make sense to make (some of)
these zero or one?

Cheers,
