I'm pretty strongly opposed to this. What's the limiting factor when adding such information? I think clients that want something like this ought to query the database for catalog information when getting schema information.
So talking some more to the guys that want to use this for Change Data Capture they pointed out that if the schema changes while they are offline there is no way to query the catalog information
