discussion of the Creative Commons Metadata work

[Sigmascape1 AT cs.com]

This is an ongoing issue for me. I have searched the web for answers. I own 
Photoshop 7 & CS (8) for Windows. Adobe clearly states that PNG files won't 
accept XMP metadata inserts. This is such a weird thing since PNG is open 
source, you'd think that there would be an easy way to pop XMP data into 
these files.

Let me know if someone has found out what, if anything, can be done.

Thank you!!!
