mapping to XMP: iptc:keywords, iptc:copyright, and icc_profile:copyright

Two suggestions for the mapping to XMP:

- If iptc:keywords exists, only the last keyword will get converted into <pdf:Keywords>. However, the IPTC Metadata for XMP mapping suggests to convert the keywords into <dc:subject> instead.

- If both iptc:copyright and icc_profile:copyright exists, <tiff:copyright> will get the value of icc_profile in preference to iptc:copyright. I don't think that the icc_profile:copyright should be mapped to <tiff:copyright> at all, since this can lead to incorrect copyright statements in the generated XMP data. See http://static.flickr.com/36/78402072_083e18becc_o_d.jpg for an example. You should only obtain the <dc:rights> element in this case, since iptc:copyright should be directly mapped into dc:rights.

I agree.  You should use the included iptc2xmp.args and xmp2iptc.args files
to do the proper name conversions when converting between IPTC and XMP
information.  (That's why I included these files.)
