Fair enough. We will remove the 'qualifiers' title.

This was taken straight from the current schemas.

This date will be set, by hand, to whatever date the schemas are actually
installed.

Yes, a suggestion was made to use rdf:type, rather than dc:type. However, I
haven't heard a convincing argument for doing so, and dc:type seems more
appropriate to me. I don't think it is necessary to provide rdf
descriptions for the actual types - at least not with this change.
Keep in mind that the purpose of this change is to allow people to begin
using the new terms, and to enable the registry work to continue. We should
leave it at that for now. Based on past history, a change of ANY
significance to the schemas would take a significant amount of time to reach
consensus on.

Harry
