Gianpaolo: One thing to consider is that Acdsee stores keywords (and categories) in custom XMP tags, this means no other software will see them. You can export to iptc tags but you will loose hierarchy and in case you will decide to switch to another program you will have to tag all your photos again.
I agree, Acdsee uses its own namespace for tags instead of using the equivalent tags in standard XMP namespaces this defeats one of the most valuable features of metadata: interoperability
Luckily DXO Photolab copies all XMP tags to exported photos, including AcdSee private tags.
