Excerpts from Simon Schampijer's message of Mon Apr 04 19:36:31 +0200 2011:

> Catch 'UnicodeDecodeError' and do not write the metadata
> if that error occurs but still write the file itself.

Let's drop the following part of the description for now:

> This might be
> enough and the guidelines should maybe ask the activity authors
> to not use binary blobs for metadata, or base64 them before storing
> them in the metadata. More reasoning and background information
> in the ticket itself.

I've followed up on the ticket.
