Yes, I think at the time it was the go-to choice.  I wish I could remember 
what the problem was: I think it was probably that we found that the tags it 
wrote were readable by some applications we tested, but not others.

In regards to your other question, we ended up writing some of the data to 
multiple fields - e.g. "byline" and "caption writer" set to the same text, 
"credit line" and "source" to the same text - again because we found that some 
apps displayed some fields, other apps displayed a different selection.

If your requirement is for in-house processing with a known toolchain, neither 
of these issues may be relevant.
