image metadata is one big mess, and I'm afraid PIL
isn't doing much to make things better :-(

it would be great to do something about this in a
future version of PIL, but it's still just an item on
the (rather big) PIL wishlist...

until that happens, you may prefer to do like I do:
store the metadata *outside* the image file...
