Message:

1. Handling quotes and colons in user comments: since these are sent and retrieved from metadata-server.pl as JSON strings, the quotes and colons in user-added meta needs to be protected since JSON uses these characters for packaging up data. 2. Cosmetic changes to baseaction: clarified some comments.
