I think this would be rather too restrictive.... some implementations may
just want to use dc:creator and not bother with dc:contributor. In which
case this solution denies them the opportunity to use DCMI approved
qualifiers. I would hope that the syntax constraints would allow for the
flexibility to use the various 'agent' qualifiers with each of the 'agent'
elements.
