Many people want metadata from URLs too. A simple way to add metadata
would be to add a new operation (GETMETA) where the format of the
metadata is returned according to the Accept: headers.

Extensions to actually retrieving metadata for resources shouldn't be
restricted to any URN implementation, should it?
