I've been thinking about this one, and a possible solution (disclaimer:
I haven't tested it) would be the following:

- open file A and read its metadata (may be an image or an XMP sidecar)
- write a "dummy" empty XMP sidecar to file B on disk
- open file B and read its metadata
- call A.copy(B, exif=False, iptc=False, xmp=True)
- call B.write()

Cheers,

Olivier
