I'd really like to see a recordMetadata element with a schema associated
with it defined somewhere.  There may be a number of things in the
extraRecordData field (based on other parms) and I'd like to keep things
separated as much as possible.

I'd like to see the rationale for this feature included in the
documentation too.

Thanks, Ray!
