Any thoughts on supporting arbitrary metadata in the output .3d format?

I'd like to be able to associate things like who found the cave, and 
what grade it was surveyed to with sets of stations and legs.  I'd then 
want to specify how these will be displayed by Aven with some sort of 
stylesheet.

I intend to try and add enough for my needs anyhow but would like to 
hear your opinions on extending the file format.

Yours,

John
