W3C recommendation for supporting embedded metadata is to use comment lines. In the example below the 3nd and 4th line:
# publisher City of Palo Alto
# updated 12/31/2010
#name GID on_street species trim_cycle inventory_date
#datatype string string string string date:M/D/YYYY
GID On Street Species Trim Cycle Inventory Date
1 ADDISON AV Celtis australis Large Tree Routine Prune 10/18/2010
2 EMERSON ST Liquidambar styraciflua Large Tree Routine Prune 6/2/2010
I understand parsing and reusing metadata in these comment lines may be seen as out of the scope of PapaParse.
But if the parser could at least not discard these lines completely (when the option 'comments: "#"' is used) and simply pass them to the meta object, a developer could further reprocess them if needed.
