Well, we have this in the security consideration section of the new mimetype:

<QUOTE>
        KWord documents include document metadata such as the name of
        the author, etc. However, none of this data is written
        automatically. The KWord user has full control over what
        metadata is to be included and must actively request the
        inclusion. As such, the use of this mimetype does not lead to
        hidden leaking of possibly sensitive data.
</QUOTE>

With a central registry, I personally think that the user does not control 
anymore the inclusion of his data in KWord.

However, we can have an option somewhere in KOffice to ask if the user wants 
his author data included or not. (It is what I had planned in the dialog of 
KWord's HTML export filter.)

Have a nice day/evening/night!
