This prolly doesn't parse (but I can't do XML in my head):

Hmmm, same deal in %changelog. When you get there, you might as well
canonicalize the convention of the EVR to which the entry applies. Sneaking
the EVR into e-mail address exploits the lack of grammar in spec files, 
but that's an rpm,
not metadata, flaw. No way to stop the convention any more.
