What about a slight change in the syntax?

I propose to ignore the very first character of every line in the metadata 
header in order to allow the usage of application specific comment prefixes. 
In addition the format should allow for leading and trailing whitespace 
characters.

e.g.:
# KOLAB_META_START
# TARGET=/tmp/templatetest.txt
# PERMISSIONS=0444
# OWNERSHIP=root:root
# KOLAB_META_END
