Yes, sure. But RFC-2731
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2731.txt
already covers most of how to encode qualified DC anyway (by example in
section 7) so it's not obvious to me that we need a separate document.
We might argue over some of the details of the examples in the RFC - but I
suspect it would be better to get those examples right and re-issue the
RFC, than have a DCMI recommendation and an RFC that say different things?
