It seems that there might be in effect three scenarios worth considering:

A) Ignore all metadata (ignoreMetadata [1] is true)

No metadata would be read except that required to read the image itself. This is \
related to another issue [2]. It is debatable whether any such essential metadata \
should be propagated to the ImageMetadata despite ignoreMetadata’s being true.

B) Ignore only metadata unknown to the TIFFImageReadParam (ignoreMetadata is false)

Only metadata essential to reading the image or corresponding to TIFFTags present in \
the union of TIFFTagSets set on the TIFFImageReadParam would be read. Similarly to \
scenario (A), it is be debatable whether metadata essential to reading the image \
should be propagated to the ImageMetadata if there is no corresponding tag in the \
union of known TIFFTagSets. Note that the absence of a provided TIFFImageReadParam \
implies that the default TIFFTagSets delineated in the class description of \
TIFFImageReadParam [3] would be recognized.

C) Do not ignore any metadata (ignoreMetadata is false)

All metadata would be read including that corresponding to TIFFTags not present in \
the union of TIFFTagSets set on the TIFFImageReadParam.

The foregoing set of scenarios would allow the blanket disabling of reading metadata \
as intended by [1], while retaining the ability to have fine-grained control over \
which fields are read as intended by the original TIFF plugin code [4]. In order to \
distinguish between scenarios (B) and (C) an extra setting, e.g., “ignoreUnknownTags” \
on the TIFFImageReadParam would be required, and any other pertinent API \
documentation updated, including [4].
