There was a proposal to share mp3's stripped of their metadata some time ago (only the data-part of the file), so files with different metadata can be merged together. Are there still plans for this?

That way, metadata would be transfered via xml or similar, so the receiving host adds them itself (but search results would still show the files with metadata, only the invisible part: The swarming would be done with stripped files, and every query result would have to have two hashes: one with metadata for older nodes and one for the stripped file-part for those, which support this kind of sharing).
