Yes, it would be desireable to use this (maybe not the full feature set)
independent of the template format.
With respect to HOT, I am happy to dive into some investigation how to best
surface this in the template in a nice consumable way.
I plan to have the code for a hello world kind of HOT template ready in the
next few days (takes me longer than I wanted, but since I am new to OS and
Heat development, it takes me some time), and then we can build on that.

Are there any samples in whatever format that show how metadata would look
like?
