How to embed PREMIS metadata within PBCore

Use PBCore 2.0′s extension elements to embed metadata from external schema’s within your PBCore record. In this example, PREMIS fields are embedded within PBCore:

<instantiationExtension>
    <extensionEmbedded>
        <object xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/v1">
            <!-- section removed for clarity -->
            <creatingApplication>
                <creatingApplicationName>Final Cut Pro</creatingApplicationName>
                <creatingApplicationVersion>7</creatingApplicationVersion>
                <dateCreatedByApplication>2011-01-24</dateCreatedByApplication>
            </creatingApplication>
        </object>
    </extensionEmbedded>
</instantiationExtension>

    Why would you want to embed PREMIS metadata in PBCore? Wouldn’t it make better sense structurally to do it the other way around?
