These tags are pretty much standard (AFAIK) and generally included in most professional photography intended for syndication, including the photos you might find on our client's journalist or syndication sites (http://nytsyn.com, http://hondanews.com, http://nissannews.com, http://swamedia.com, http://allstatenewsroom.com, etc).

Just tossing those in there to emphasize that, to the best of my knowledge, there is a good reason to consider these tags as pretty standardly used (and worth inclusion) since they represent millions of photos from professional press photographers.

I would definitely have preferred to use KEYWORDS instead of IPTC_KEYWORDS, but it's already mapped to XMP (Photoshop) data. If it's likely to be accepted I'd be more than happy to submit another pull-request.

BTW, regarding KEYWORDS, I meant to say that I'd change the existing version to XMP_KEYWORDS, and the IPTC version to just KEYWORDS (as it's represented in the Perl Exiftool output).

Jesus - no idea why I never saw this, @sam I'm really sorry about missing this contribution.

I'll merge this and if KEYWORDS is more standard to use for IPTC, please feel free to make that change and submit and I'll accept that as well -- I don't have that insight into how popular/common some of these tags are so that is helpful.
