Why does Dublin core develop its own name-space recommendations and does not
follow standard xml namespace conventions? I believe
<link rel="dc:relation" href="http://www.example.org/" />
<link rel="dcterms:references" href="http://www.example.org/publications/2002/176459.pdf" />
would optionally allow to express (using xmlns) the full namespace that is
referred to abbreviated through dc and dcterms. Currently the knowledge is
rather behind the scenes and depends on shared DC-specific conventions.
