It should be in the first few lines. Since this would only be used as a fall back I was going to have it read the fist section and if it's not there continue to the next. Once all have been read then look at the entire document and see if possibly it was broken into multiple sections.

It would take very little work to make this happen. All that would be required is to check the eReader section 0 header type. Open the stream with the appropriate reader and use a simple for loop to extract each section. Something like
Code:
for i in section_count:
read_metadata(section(i))

This is the current fall back.

So basically reading the /v block as a fall back is waste of time. the MetaInfo section is the first place metadata is read.
