This namespace has never been officially endorsed by the DCMI - for
example it is not in the qualifiers document -
http://dublincore.org/documents/2000/07/11/dcmes-qualifiers/
Officially defined means in a DCMI standards-track document published
on the DC web site below http://dublincore.org/documents/ in the
Recommendations section or as an RFC.

Well I think I originated that RDF since I edited that document and
I'm sorry I used a non-standard namespace at that time. You managed
to find an error.
The dcq namespace has not been officially defined and any deployed
uses of it are experimental, until DCMI decides what the namespace
is. I can give other examples of different experimental/wrong
qualifier namespaces if you want.
