I am taking notes here: http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/MetadataRequirements And I have actually started a little work and more thoughts to add.

OTOH, your own implementation could provide a level of enhancement with specific knowledge of certain UI capabilities you have that MLT can not assume.
