Option to Choose Placement of Metadata

Title:
Option to Choose Placement of Metadata

Area:
entries, styles

Summary:
On the Customize Style page, include an option to pick whether you want the metadata to appear at the top or bottom of posts.

Description:
As far as I know, there isn't a single style that places metadata above the entry text right now, and I don't think there's an easy way to change that via CSS, either. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I prefer my metadata at the top because it already gives me an idea of what a post will be like before I start reading. For example, certain moods might warn me that a rant is coming or that the person isn't being serious. I'm sure there are situations in which the music or location can contain useful information as well.

Since I doubt it would be a good idea to make some styles one way and some the other, how about including an option to choose, just like we can already choose where the sidebar goes?
