Eric,
Couldn't we satisfy Stu's versioning requirement by adding a new property
(i.e., version) to the eor schema?

Regards,
Harry

are going to be a lot of additional requirements to supporting the
management of different languages.  Requirements for associating status
with dc:terms (e.g. deprecated, recommended, etc.), identifying which
dc:terms are used in what application, looking for examples that use some
dc:term, etc. all seem to be on the table.

Viewing these all as simply additional characteristics of some dc:term
provides a convenient means for managing these requirements.  I'm in no
means suggesting these requirements are all part of what's considered part
of 1.0, however, to the extent they can all be implemented in a similar and
consistent manner makes for a more flexible and efficient registry.

Err... I think Stu just stumbled upon the reason why there was a strong
interest from several people during the "Namespace debates" to give new
unique identifiers for new terms.
