The CIPA EXIF 2.32 for XMP (2020) specification made the stupid mistake of changing the exifEX namespace URI.  From the point of view of anyone who knows anything about metadata, this was a really, really stupid thing to do.

I can't believe anyone could release a specification like this with no idea of how it is implemented.

But last month they (finally) released a revised version with this stupid mistake reversed.

I'll read the rest of the new specification when I get a chance.  Hopefully they thought this one through properly before releasing it.
