My idea about splitting was not making a Nepomuk version and a non Nepomuk version \
but rather having a generic widget (say KPropertyWidget) capable of displaying a set \
of properties. These properties may not be linked to files. You could then either \
implement KMetaDataWidget on top of it, or provide an additional class to fill \
KPropertyWidget with KFileItem and Nepomuk information.

The more I think of it, the more I believe this could be done using Qt model/view \
system: KPropertyWidget could be a view capable of showing any model which provide \
key/value data. The model would provide two columns, one for key and the other for \
value. One could then provide a QItemDelegate implementation to provide rendering and \
editor for specific keys (for example rating). Bonus points for making it possible to \
group keys using a hierarchical model.

Of course this is a lot of work :/ but I believe it would make the widget more \
useful.
