Doitsu noticed many of the same things.

I have now blocked editing of element names and property names so that they can not be changed by the user, only the values associated with them can be changed. This has not been pushed yet.

I added MOBI-ASIN as a known identifier type so we would support DOI, ISBN, ISSN, UUID and MOBI-ASIN.

And I am trying to create a better dc:description delegate.

I will look into the modification date bug in epub2. There may be many bugs in epub2, as I have focused my testing only on epub3 since it is a much more complicated case.

Yes if your translations of Roles or Languages are very long you will need to grow the width of the Meta-Editor.

Yes, Advanced Users could directly edit the opf. The role of the MetaEditor is to give more novice users and users who for good reason do not like editing the opf a chance to make basic changes.

FWIW, your base of comparison should be the current Meta-Editor in Sigil 1.4.3.

So, just to be clear, are you saying this version (aside from the epub2 bug) is worse that the version in Sigil-1.4.3 for the majority of users?
