Remarks

The input xml must be a valid metadata document and, as a minimum, have a root <metadata> element. The Layer metadata must be editable. Refer to GetCanEditMetadata. Sub layer types do not support metadata. They typically have a single source, specified on the parent layer, that controls the metadata.
