+Added a facility to embed metadata for records generated by the DOM XML
+filter. The meta data step is triggered by a 'meta' section in the
+retrieve section of the dom config, e.g.
+  <retrieve name="myelementset">
+    <xslt stylesheet="my-usual.xsl"/>
+    <meta/>
+  </retrieve>
+The meta section substitutes metadata for all elements called 'meta' in
+namespace http://indexdata.com/zebra-2.0 . The meta element must have
+exactly one attribute, element_set_name, which specifies the special
+element set name which is equivalent to the suffix to zebra:: for
+non-embedded special retrievals. This allows snippets, facets etc to be
+included.
