I'm trying to get my head around all the language stuff at the moment
and I'm a bit confused by the above in as much as it seems to contradict
the XML RDF proposals regarding language [1] where dc:language _is_ used
for the language of an element of the description in addition to being
used to describe the language of a resource.
My best attempt to do the language stuff correctly can be found at this
site:

for example:
http://www.laptopchallenge.org.uk/dc.rdf
I'd be interested if anyone has any feedback about how I have done this
and if anything should be done differently.
