As last time, it's not clear whether the silence that has greeted my mail
indicates agreement, disagreement or boredom. Given that no-one else has
flagged any errors in my mail, I'll mention a couple of mistakes I've
noticed myself. I wrote:

Instead, I would write these as something like:
<?XML:namespace href="http://purl.oclc.org/metadata/..." as="DC"?>
<?XML:namespace href="http://purl.oclc.org/metadata/..." as="DC-Date"?>
<DC:Date>
<DC-Date:Type>Creation</DC-Date:Type>

</DC:Date>
<DC:Date>
<DC-Date:Type>ValidFrom</DC-Date:Type>
<DC-Date:Value>1998-01-01</DC-Date:Value>
</DC:Date>
and:
<?XML:namespace href="http://purl.oclc.org/metadata/..." as="DC"?>
<?XML:namespace href="http://purl.oclc.org/metadata/..." as="DC-Relation"?>
<DC:Relation>
<DC-Relation:Type>IsParentOf</DC-Relation:Type>
<DC-Relation:Identifier>http://...</DC-Relation:Identifier>
</DC:Relation>
<DC:Relation>
<DC-Relation:Type>IsChildOf</DC-Relation:Type>
