Description
Right now it seems that it is not possible to list the domains in which there is meta data. gdalinfo.c has the domains it reports hard-coded. Even the C++ API is opaque in this sense, the multidomain metadata is protected within majorobject and its GetDomainList thus can't be called. GeoTiff class seems to have its own contained multidomain metadata object.

Ari,
This is by design.
Some "well known" domains are described as part of the GDAL data model. Others are entirely driver specific, and really only intended to be fetched by drivers or users that know the semantics.
Note that not all metadata is actually in the base level GDALMultiDomainMetadata object.
If you feel strongly about this need you would need to bring it forward as an RFC instead of just an enhancement request.
