Additional media type-specific representation information is consistent with the NISO Z39.87 Data Dictionary designed for digital still images and the draft AES metadata standard for digital audio.

GENERAL:
· The amount of logging code has been increased, mostly at the
· DEBUG level.

· Further work on generics in Java code.

· Failure to get a page object number wasn't being handled cleanly,
· resulting in a report of an invalid document without an error message
