Off-the-shelf products that can access DNG's XMP?

Question

I'm sorry if this is off-topic.
I'm a photographer who uses DNG as my raw file format, and puts various things, (name, copyright statement, website, keywords, etc), into the DNGs, in the form of XMP. (Using Bridge + ACR). Then this XMP eventually gets into the PSDs, JPEGs, etc.
I do so on the assumption that in future I will be able to get off-the-shelf tools that will do something useful with this. Asset managers, etc. Or perhaps tools that will add to it - for example, adding GPS log data. Etc.
But this assumes that embedded XMP will be accepted as something that (non-Adobe) off-the-shelf tools will handle, perhaps routinely. I simply don't have a feel for whether that is the way the industry is going, or whether it will be concentrated in niche and specialised and bespoke tools. I would appreciate information of "routine" take-up.
Thanks.
(PLEASE don't give me a sales-pitch for XMP! I'm beyond the need for that).

Thanks, johnbeardy. (And thanks for your recent suggestions, you know where, for classifying support for DNG, and even XMP).
I am building up a picture here that the key to a sustainable DNG-based workflow isn't simply to have lots of tools, (by that I include "full blown applications"), that support DNG in some form. It is to have tools that can also exploit, in & out, the XMP metadata within the DNGs.
The vision I am getting of the desirable future of raw shooting has DNG at the centre, as a container for the raw image, a lot of XMP metadata of various sorts, plus some other stuff. It isn't a product-centred vision, it is a DNG-containing-XMP centred vision.
I suspect that this will be a hard vision to explain to others! You, and AlaskaBob, and Peter Krogh, and some, (probably not all), people in Adobe, won't have a problem - in fact, I'm a bit late on the scene. But there are very many people who can't even see the strategic advantages of DNG, let alone DNG-containing-XMP!
Very illuminating! Thanks.
