KFX format as produced by Amazon has only a limited set of metadata. Kindles do not need anything else.

I am reluctant to define my own new metadata fields for KFX beyond what Amazon uses. I cannot be sure how Kindles would react to that unexpected data. Even if it appeared to work for now, Amazon is always making changes to KFX and something might break later.
