  Sorry, I have been inaccurate here. What I meant is to have different values
for one content object and one metadata-set, but different languages. E.g.
the "silva-content" Set contains the declarations for "title" and "shortitle".
  For Folders in the "Silva Local Content" product I would like to have
different values for the title and the shorttitle in each supported language.

  Having a hidden "delegate" object for each language in the Folder and binding
the metadata to that delegate seems to solve that problem.

So actually the question is if it is ok to put support for that feature
into SilvaMetadata in that specific method, though that feature is seemingly not
used by Silva, and of course there is some risk I may break something
with that patch.

  If there would be a different way to solve my problem without having to mess
with the internals of SilvaMetadata I would happily throw away my patch.

If there is no other way but You feel its too risky to add that patch I can stil
try to get away with monkey patching is for my specifig needs, though that's
not very nice ...
