Thanks, Youenn.

With regard to metadata: Given that we're about to finalize the spec, the
time for "feature at risk" has passed.  We need to decide whether it's in
or it's out.

Personally I would be inclined to keep it.  This is the classic
"proactively add an extension point" (which inherently leaves it
underspecified) vs. "YAGNI / add the extension point when it's needed"
(thus requiring a code change later) argument.  My inclination for the
former is based on this being a very simple extension point that doesn't
change the behavior of the protocol much.  And it seems like there are some
things like frame marking that might benefit from being bound into the
metadata.

A comparable story from MLS/MIMI: We added an `authenticated_data` field to
the MLS encrypted message structure, which has largely the same trade-offs
we have here (except it *also* consumes space in the message).  When it was
added, there wasn't an explicit use case for it, but it looks like MIMI is
going to make a fair bit of use.
