As you wish. But the more conventions you add (renaming PDFs, other rules requiring user action), the less this feature will be used.

Quote:I'm fairly uncomfortable with this. The value would presumably need to be in either the proprietary minimserver.com namespace or the proprietary bubblesoftapps.com namespace. I'd much prefer to stay with industry standard tags.

As you wish again as all the CP needs is the URL, and the means by which it gets it doesn't matter much.

Yes the desc tag would have to use a namespace, probably the minimserver.com namespace. There's quite a bit of media servers using desc tags: WMP (to send custom ratings among other things), foo_upnp (to send a dump of all tags and restore them in a foo_upnp client), Twonky (I think).

upnp:lyricsURI maybe standard but you can be assured virtually no CP makes uses of it. And hijaacking it for pdf booklets is debatable...

Anyway it doesn't really matter as long as the pdf URL is transmitted.
