Phil, I have another question about comment tags.  Ive noticed in my experimenting that different operating systems and different applications create different tags for adding comments.  Windows OS's use either "XPComment" or "User Comment".  And I think when I added a comment using Linux it created a different tag for comments as well.  Im planning on adding comments to all my pictures(for example: "John and Jane Doe in New York").  Do you recommend a particular tag to use for this?  Is there one that is more widely recognized for this purpose, or does it even matter?

I would suggest writing MWG:Description.  The MWG
recommendation is the only standard which attempts
to address problems like this.
