From ExifTool 8.60, Image/ExifTool/XMP.pm, line 107:
    stArea    => 'http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/sType/Area#',
I believe it should be:
    stArea    => 'http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/sType/Area#',
according to the MWG Working Group spec at http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf, page 73:

   APPENDIX C: XMP DEFINITIONS
   This chapter contains missing XMP definitions that are necessary to support the new schemas.
   Area
   ...
   The field namespace URI is http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/sType/Area#
   The preferred field namespace prefix is stArea
   ...

Hi Tilman,

Thank you very much for pointing out this error!  I can't figure out how this happened.

It will be fixed in ExifTool 8.61 when it is released.
