Anyone who cares to can see my stab at template-driven tagging here:

https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer_taggerlib/wiki/taggerlib

I didn't include it in get_iplayer at the time because I didn't think 
the extra tagging functionality was worth the additional complexity in 
an already-complex script.  Granted, I went for a slightly complex 
system in which templates could include code fragments, string 
manipulation, etc.

There is still a middle ground open for a system utilising purely static 
templates (i.e., 1-1 mappings between get_iplayer metadata values and 
MP4/ID3 tags).  If someone wants to develop a new tagging system with 
static templates, I paved the way for you a little bit by encapsulating 
all the tagging functionality in a single package (Tagger).  You could 
easily add or swap in a new implementation.
