"metadata" as implicit resource type format?

Hi Lenya devs,

IMO the concept of resource type formats has proven very
useful and 
convenient. Maybe it makes sense to introduce implicit
formats which 
don't depend on a particular resource type but work with all
documents? 
A first candidate might be the "metadata" format:

  
lenya-document:…,pub=…,area=…,lang=…?format=metadata


would return the XML format of the LenyaMetaDataGenerator.

WDYT?

I think this is a good idea.
