How do I export exif data in Aperture?

Question

It seems that Aperture exports very little data that is of use (i.e., minimal IPTC metadata). Is there a work around to export EXIF metadata? If not, is there a feature request mechanism within Apple?
Thanks much,
Tim

Tim,
for the GPS info you may look at this sample code from another script of mine:
try
                              tell application "Aperture"
  activate
                                        tell im -- any Aperture image
                                                  set longi to value of EXIF tag "Longitude"
                                                  set lati to value of EXIF tag "Latitude"
                                                  try -- remove this "try" if you want a warning if the altitude tag is empty
                                                            set alti to value of EXIF tag "Altitude"
                                                  end try
                                                  try -- remove this "try" if you want a warning if the location tag is empty
  --          set plce to "unknown"
                                                            set plce to value of IPTC tag "Image City" as rich text
                                                  end try
                                        end tell
                              end tell
                    on error
-- whatever you want to do in case of an error
                    end try
