Oh yes, I would discuss this and vote for it !!  Either pro or con ... :-)

I'm not saying I would be an expert on either PNG or EXIF, but it makes 
lots of sense to add such a chunk to the PNG spec.

If we can't make such a simple thing happen (in any way, shape or form) 
we did design a bad standard that can't slowly grow and evolve itself.

PNG has been static for twenty years. Which is a good but also a very 
bad thing.

Let's just make a small step to see if it is a standard that can evolve. 
And an additional EXIF chunk seems like an easy first step.

We should make the effort !!
