I think it would make sense to have a metadata pane, and it would probably eliminate the need for an EPUB metadata module. Perhaps the biggest issue would be to determine how to enable the user to input multiple values for a field (such as multiple authors), but that might not be that difficult a problem to solve. I'll stick with a metadata module for right now, as Google wants us to submit a code sample taken from September 16th and earlier, but long term it would be nicer to have the metadata entered as part of the document settings. - Josh
