Re: CALL for DISCUSSION: eXIf 20170115

I'm all for short and sharp.

However it could help to add some explanation to make life easier for 
implementers. Like that the chunk data starts with "II" or "MM", so that 
people realize that it doesn't start with "Exif\0\0". Maybe not strictly 
necessary, but just to avoid confusion.

With or without that addition, I would vote 100% YES on this. This is a 
simple problem to solve, let's not make it complicated.
