EDItEUR (or whoever is ONIX maintainer) should define XML namespace to use ONIX tags in multinamespace environment. Then it should be possible to just embed ONIX subsection the OPF metadata section, i.e.:

<package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" ...>
<metadata>
<Product xmlns="[ONIX namespace goes here]">
<RecordReference>1234567890</RecordReference>
....
</Product>
...
</metadata>
....
<package>

 While I view Peter's comment as substantially more elegant, this can be done now with the likes of:

 <meta name="ONIX Feed" content="&lt;?XML version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
 &lt;!DOCTYPE ONIXMessage SYSTEM &quot;http://www.editeur.org/onix/ 2.1/02/reference/onix-international.dtd&quot;&gt;

 &lt;ONIXMessage&gt;

 ...

 &lt;/ONIXMessage&gt;">

ONIX 3.0 has many new features relevant to ePub, but careful thought will need to be given as to what elements are stable enough to include in ePubs. Need to coordinate with BISG and BIC who develop Best Practices or Certification for ONIX in the U.S. and UK respectively so IDPF is in synch with their recommendations.

Will confer with BISG and BIC to establish guidelines for ONIX 3.0 integration with ePub. In the meantime will add clarification of issues for 2.01 release.
