I agree with Gisle that the DCHTML draft can be misleading
when it comes to qualifying DC.
Section 7 does "define" the subelement _syntax_ as:
<meta name = "PREFIX.ELEMENT_NAME.SUBELEMENT_NAME" ... >
(and Section 7 has the title "DC in _Real_ Descriptions" ;-)
I think that DCHTML should be scoped to Version 1.0 and
that we work (quickly) on a spec for Version 2.0 (qualified).
We (Simon Cox and I) have been looking into this problem
with AGLS metadata. We should fast-track this via DC.
Cheers... Renato
