Pound Hill Software - Is Anyone using XMP?

Has anyone looked into using Pound Hill Software? Anyone use XMP in their workflow? If so, how do you use it?

We took a look at Pound Hill about a year ago (nice guy named Gordon Watson came in to give us the demo) and I thought it had some real nice features. We were primarily interested in the XMP support they were promising for Quark which, at that time, turned out to be vapor ware 'cause of Quark backing off from their original commitment to allow Pound Hill to integrate XMP via an Xtension.However, what was really nice was the hierarchical metadata structures that the Pound Hill software allowed. One of the biggest challenges using metadata on Xinet is its "flat" metadata structure -- the inability of the metadata to have sublevels of values. We didn't buy into it 'cause we put in a North Plains Telescope asset management system which allows for hierarchical metadata, but the Pound Hill solution looked real slick except for the fact that you needed Xtensions/Plugins in each app to make everything work. Last I heard they were backing away a bit from the graphic arts people and going after the photography crowd. I need to pop on their website and take a look at what they've been doing lately.
