Adding metadata in the file itself _is_ how CVS works. The checked out "view" of the file is only part of the file, in the CVS repository. If an API provided interpretation of the metadata, then the program using it would only "see" a particular "view". An alternate approach would be to put versioning in the FS, and use it to control which version the system uses.
