The documentation of TIFF tag 700 (XMP) at
(http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/tifftags/xmp.html) says that
the field type is BYTE. However, Adobe's XMP specification, part 3,
Table 12, says: "The field type should be UNDEFINED (7) or BYTE (1)."

Using Aware's information led to a bug in JHOVE that falsely rejects
quite a lot of valid TIFF files that use type 7; this will be fixed in
the next release now that it's been called to my attention. (JHOVE is,
by design and intent, a nitpicky curmudgeon.)

Could whoever is responsible for the Aware site fix the information; or
if there's something that overrides the Adobe spec I'm looking at, could
someone call my attention to it? Thanks either way.
