If I understand SilvaMetadata/Binding.py's get/setObjectDelegator methods (and 
I'm not sure I do..), this delegation enables you to retrieve and set metadata 
for a content object Foo, on a different object Bar. In other words, Bar is 
assigned, or delegated, to handle/contain the metadata of Foo.

This, AFAIK is indeed not used in Silva. If at all.

Still, if delegates are used in some application, then indeed the 
getMetadataValue() method on the Metadata service does not regard it, which, in 
that specific application, might actually be a bug.

With this new insight I will have another look at your patch :)
