You don't need to edit the metadata is agree that metadata can be removed by 
trash (not untrash) if a file is not in the trash. This slows down trash 
somewhat, but improves safety.
No suid on trash might also mean you're not able to restore a file to a 
certain dir. untrash should then ask for an alternative location.
