The list of well-known metadata items in section 3.6 is currently:

     samp.name (RECOMMENDED)
        A one word title for the application.
     samp.description.text
        A short description of the application, in plain text.
     samp.description.html
        A description of the application, in HTML.
     samp.icon.url
        The URL of an icon in png, gif or jpeg format.
     samp.documentation.url
        The URL of a documentation web page.

Is this list right?  Should more (e.g. contact name, IVORN) be added
or some taken away?  Should more be RECOMMENDED than just samp.name?
