I found an old thread about this subject, of august 2003. From that thread
it seems that the better approach would be to leave EXIF to the frontend.
BTW, it was suggested to enhance sane-2 in order to have a better
interface even for EXIF.

What is the status of SANE-2 implementation?

Thanks,
Giuseppe
