True, looping over MetaItem table should be used only if one is interested in getting
all available metadata. Programs reading only some predefined set, should use MMM_GetMetaItem(). For text data it takes care of charset conversion, as in rzookol's example. On the other hand, Geit's method is neither "hackish" nor obsolete, just less comfortable.
