That level of extensibility mainly shows up with the extra metadata files in the .dist-info directory (so it's part of the wheel and installation database formats, but not a concern for the main metadata file).
An in-memory metadata interchange format would need to deal with it, but such a format can also use properly structured datatypes.
Cheers, Nick.
