I agree with these categories of work...
FWIW, my personal view is that any agent working group should be given a
strong steer in the direction of making recommendations for the use/re-use
of existing work outside of DCMI (e.g. vCard, MARC relators, etc.) rather
than inventing new stuff for this.
Certainly if C) involves inventing a new element set it should be
ruled out of scope of DCMI.
All IMHO of course!
