Chris,
I was chair of the DC Format WG which defined the various qualifiers for
dc:format. Although the wording isn't perhaps quite as clear as it might
have been, my recollection is that dcterms:medium was *only* intended for
use with physical resources (e.g. a valid value might be 'canvas' for a
painting).
A MIME type should be given using dc:format and the IMT encoding scheme
(i.e. *not* using a refinement of dc:format). I presume this means using
the rather verbose RDF encoding
<dc:format>
<dcterms:IMT>
<rdf:value>text/html</rdf:value>
</dcterms:IMT>
</dc:format>
which you seem to reject for date elsewhere in your proposals?

I can't see that message without logging in which I don't particularly
want to so :-(
Remind me what's wrong with the DCSV encoding of DCMI Point?
