Most CMS field types have useful, implicit metadata that would be very useful in building good UX's.

e.g.;

• Displaying the reading time of a blog post

• Showing the duration of a video, or a podcast on the page, in the title or meta description

• Passing an image mimetype into RSS, which is required for enclosures

To support this, it would be great to be able to get basic metadata about the CMS fields we are embedding.

• image field type

  • width

  • height

  • mimetype

• text field type

  • word count

• rich text field type

  • word count

  • reading time

• video

  • width

  • height

  • duration

  • provider ( youtube, wistia, etc )

• audio [future]

  • duration

  • mimetype
