Tod,
As document URLs these are fine (though I might query the use of '/' in
the dates)... but a namespace isn't a document is it?
Why aren't all DC namespaces PURLs? What's wrong with versioning some
namespaces with numbers and some with dates, as appropriate? What's wrong
with
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
http://purl.org/dc/qualifiers/2000-07-11/
http://purl.org/dc/types/1.0/
which seem perfectly straightforward and consistent to me? Apologies if I
should know the answer to these questions from previous postings - it's
hard to keep up sometimes :-(
