I've started to implement storing metadata as lists, and while it's not pretty it seems to work, though I haven't yet tested a file which actually contains duplicate metadata tags.

But I've noticed that several tags are currently not handled by mobiunpack (e.g. 202-209, 300).

I'm would like to get some input about how mobiunpack should handle them. I doubt that mobigen/kindlegen supports all these tags (if any), but there are already tags that will be exported to the opf file despite they are ignored by mobigen/kindlegen (e.g. the ASIN).

Are there other tools which actually support these tags and use the values or are they just for information?

In the latter case I would like to mark them as such (for example by putting them into a comment section) to make clear that their value won't affect the generated mobi.

Another solution would be to define a new list of ignored tags, so it's clear that we are aware of those tags but deliberately don't include them in the opf file.

Ciao,
Steffen
