Harry,
Does the Registry application also need to know "Status"?
I believe you had considered using dc:relation
together with an identifier for a type of status (e.g.
http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/process/#recommended).
I was going to propose that the Usage Board declare a term
dcu:status for this purpose -- but not today!
It seems like "dc:title dc:relation http://...#recommended"
would work as a stopgap measure, though it is awfully vague.
Perhaps members of this list have a better suggestion?
Tom
