Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 Replying to [comment:121 jeremyfelt]:
 > To retrieve individual registered meta for a custom post type **and**
 have it pass through registered sanitize/auth callbacks, a developer would
 need to use `get_metadata( 'post:books', .... )` instead of
 `get_post_meta()` *unless* we add another parameter for subtype to
 `get_post_meta()`.

 Any reason that `get_post_meta()` cannot effectively be:

 {{{
 function get_post_meta( $post_type, ... )
    return get_metadata( "post:{post_type}", .... );
 }
 }}}
