Why aren't all DC namespaces PURLs? What's wrong with versioning some namespaces with numbers and some with dates, as appropriate? What's wrong with http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ http://purl.org/dc/qualifiers/2000-07-11/ http://purl.org/dc/types/1.0/ which seem perfectly straightforward and consistent to me?
