Metadata is always embedded. It is, after all, what defines a "book" file formats - the book file always have a metadata describing the actual text.
It does not matter which format we are talking about. I use fb2 and epub in this topic only because both formats are easy to modify by external tools.
The problem here is that if we load a book into calibre (in one format), convert it to another format - we now have three sets of metadata (two book files, and library itself) and all three can differ between each other.
