I think we all agree that we need to define XML Schemas for both the
DCMES and also Qualified DC - but its becoming obvious that the two
schema designs are not independent of each other and so should be done
in parallel. The availability of the Qualified DC XML Schema will also
effect the approaches taken by implementors of application profiles -
and hopefully act as a guide to appropriate dumbing-down.
But if we do the design of both schemas in parallel, then its unlikely
we can have them both right for OAI by March 15.
But I'd be happy if we could come up with an interim DCMES XML schema
for OAI by March 15, providing its fairly broad and innocuous.
