We are very much agreed. We would love steem-engine to allow token creators to add metadata somewhere to have a very short description field and maybe a a medium length one like you're talking about... that way they can change it when they need to and we don't have to get updates every time one of potentiall hundreds of tribes updates something.

I suppose there is a possibility that if steem-engine doesn't do it soon we could add the metadata field to the account of the account owner? @asgarth is that possible?
