When I first read this, I was imagining not having to give it your metadata
but native support for most of our commonly used metadata records... so the
interface is: "Give me 100 MODS records" and it spits that out... You could
get fancy and say, "Give me X number of METS records that wrap TIFFs and
JPGs and that uses MODS, etc."  That's not as trivial as hooking into an
lorem ipsum machine, but it'd be pretty cool, imho.
