Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe
for embedding document metadata within the document itself.
The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs
that are oblivious to the document's file format.
Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files.
Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document
authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well.

hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually
no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's
mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of
hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: authors,
base URL, contact telephone number/postal address/email address/URL,
copyright statement, creation date, document identifier, document
instance identifier, document type, file format, keywords, language,
LaTeX file name, license URL, metadata writer, PDF version,
PDF-generating tool, PDF/A compliance level and version,
primary author's position or title, subject/summary, and title.
hyperxmp is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf,
latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex.

Version 2.9 of hyperxmp improves PDF/A support by providing control
over the PDF/A part and conformance ID; embedding IPTC metadata in
a more validation-friendly manner; and including even empty author,
title, and description metadata when PDF/A is being generated.
Thanks to Leonid Sinev for his help with these. In addition,
hyperxmp v2.9 lets authors indicate the logical document type
(e.g., text or image) in the XMP metadata.
