I just came across this...
The DAISY 2.02 spec for digital talking books is based on XHTML 1.0 and
SMIL 1.0 and incorporates the DCMES.
http://www.daisy.org/dtbook/spec/2/final/d202/daisy_202.html
DC elements are encoded in XHTML meta tags using a 'dc:title' naming
convention, e.g.
<meta name="dc:creator" content="Richard G. Lipsey" />
I firmly belive that all DC-aware applications should consider all the
following meta tag naming conventions as acceptable:
DC.Creator
dc.creator
DC.creator
DC:Creator
dc:creator
Dc:CrEaToR
etc.
and that our HTML encoding specs should reflect this, though we might
still wish to indicate a preferred form. Given the more widespread usage
of XML and XML namespaces, one could argue that 'dc:creator' should be the
prefered form from now on.
I can see no good reason to do otherwise in (X)HTML. Comments? Note, such
a change does *not* break existing (X)HTML applications.
