Here's another question for y'all to ponder.
Consider: many organisations, particularly but certainly not exclusively
government, require that certain documents be retained in human-readable
format. There are MANY valid and proper reasons for this and I do not wish
to hijack the discussion to paper vs. plastic. :)

However: consider that in almost every instance, the reason for doing so
boils down to a question of metadata - specifically, the addition of
metadata in the form of a "wet-ink" signature. All of the rest of the
metadata that could have been attached to the document in any number of ways
is not pertinent and is discarded. This of course assumes the RM program is
a good one and only retains the record copy of a particular document, err,
record, err, information object.

So why does one bit of metadata trump all of the rest of the metadata in the
document? Please show your work.
