also, with respect to pdf features, it's not so much a big deal to support them, but given that the pdf ref manual is over 1000, any interface to features will end up in a configuration mess (many options, keywords, wierd side tracks, etc);
I'm still dreaming about pdf dictionary handling in pdfTeX; this could also be used to handle kv-pairs.
you mean access to dictionaries (involving parsing) ?
xpdf obviously has these features under the hood, accessible by pdftex. Problem is to get xpdf parsing a string instead of a file. Bernd Raichle told me a few months ago that C++ "string-streams" can be used in principle to feed a string into the parser like a file. But i didn't try it yet, have not much, if any, C++ experience.
