Let me put to rest any notion that authority control will be mandatory for
Dublin Core applications. This is absolutely not the case.
On the other hand it *must* be possible to deploy authority control within
DC. Many communities have large investments in authority control of
personal names, place names, and corporate entity names. There will be
clearly defined means in DC to specify the variety of authority control that
a particular community chooses (including none at all).
