I have difficulties reading your examples (I had to look at the email
source to see the XML at all), but I'll try to answer anyway.
In general, nesting properties is simply not allowed, because it's
unclear exactly what that would mean in terms of the DCMI Abstract
Model.
First example:
> <dc:date>
> <dcterms:W3CDTF>
> <dcterms:created>2007-09-27</dcterms:created>
> </dcterms:W3CDTF>
> </dc:date>
Where have you seen this example? This is not valid DC-in-XML. It looks
vaguely like DC-in-RDF, but is not valid DC-RDF either (or at least does
not at all mean what you think it means).
The followup question would be - are you trying to use DC-in-XML, or are
you really looking at using RDF?

No, that is not valid. and the notion of nesting dc properties like this
is not valid in any DC syntax. Same for below example.

In what kind of context are you trying to generate metadata?
