Comment (by knarf):
Such an API would be a good idea. The API could live in the flesh, the actual implementation would be in a thorn /thorns - much like any other IO thorn as well. Whether the metadata is then output as xml, hdf5, ascii or blue cheese would be up to thorns implementing this.
For the parameters I would prefer the solution of writing these into a separate file, with a good default name. There is really no need to have these in every hdf5 file.
