Comment (by jtsternberg):

 Replying to [comment:112 jeremyfelt]:
 > `add_metadata()` does not currently support an `$object_subtype`
 parameter. A new style sanitize filter will not be triggered because
 `add_metadata()` calls `sanitize_meta()` without the object subtype as
 well. We need to add subtype into this part of the process.
 [attachment:35658.39.diff] does this, though 6 parameters on `add_meta()`
 seems like it's stretching it. :/

 This makes the Object_Type and colon-separated object-type schema sound
 even more appealing. Now multiply this x every function/filter/etc where
 you now how to take into account a sub-type, or possibility for a sub-
 type. Retrofitting the existing type parameter w/ optional colon-
 separated-sub-type makes a ton of sense to me.
