There are still 53 files that are not found, linked from somewhere
within http://www.dublincore.org/usage/ but since
many of them are linked from multiple locations, there
are many more broken links. I will send you a full report
privately.

I did not see them there. I did not scroll that far
because I was on the page of elements,
http://www.dublincore.org/usage/terms/dc/current-elements/
and I did not know that the refinements now have become
elements. I follow the DC lists, but it was news to me.
Am I alone in thinking that the refinements of Date should
be linked to Date element?

from that record it is not even clear that create is a
refinement of date.
Or is the age of refinement gone? ;-)

I guess it would help. Things like
what is the difference between a DC element and a DC term?
what is the difference between "compliant" and "recommended"?
should be addressed in a document that sets out the
fundamentals of what this is about.
The structure of links is confusing. For example
http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/process/#recommended
gets me to
5. Proposals for Recommendations [top]
which tells me how something becomes recommended. But
following that link I want to know what does it mean to be
recommended
For another example
http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/process/#conforming
gets me to the top of the Usage board proceeding documents.
For a third example, sometimes I see
Status: http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/process/#recommended
other times I see
Status: Recommended
do they mean the same thing?
Overall, it seems that this series of documents seem to imply
a lot of change from what DC is. I am astounded not to have seen
them discussed before they have become final. Or is this set
of documents not final?
