Yes.

Agreed. It makes no sense to go schemaless with Tika's metadata.

We do try to normalize across file formats to Dublin Core when possible -- dc:creator, dc:created.  We also try to normalize date formats for those metadata items that we know are dates (dc:created, etc.).  If you find issues with normalization or can recommend areas for improvement, please do!
