Please then go to pp4 rather than xmp. If you go to xmp you get things like basename.jpeg.xmp and basename.tiff.xmp which opens up the whole almost political/religious question of whether there is an xmp “standard” that says it should be solely of the form basename.xmp. I know I won’t get much sympathy on this forum, but if we end up with something like basename.jpeg.xmp it will break my workflow compatibility with PhotoMechanic. But if we go to pp4, then we define the standard and we avoid interoperability issues. (I am sure Camera Bits would revise PhotoMechanic to handle PP4 files, as they did with PP3 files if requested, but there is no way they they would “go against the standard” and handle basename.jpeg.xmp files. I use PhotoMechanic as my DAM.)
