Relating this back to Misha's work on the 8601 profile (which I think
is terrific, btw), has anyone noticed that the profile looks more like
the specification of a "data type" than of "data semantics"?

It's clear to me that the profile will apply to any number of elements
that contain date-like things (DLTs ;-) ).  Whether we define

  DC.date.copyright
  DC.date.lastModified
  DC.date.creation

as sub-elements, as separate elements, or as future extensions,
would anyone suggest that they _not_ share this data type profile?
