--- we just have to be careful of creating a solution to a non-issue.
Microformats model established publishing practices and solve simple
problems.

--- it might be microformat-like, and that is fine, but it doesn't
need to be a microformat. It can be POSH or RDFa or eRDF, or others.
Having a pseudo namespace DC-foobar has been discouraged before.

--- this is good we want to re-use not re-invent, but we also don't
want to re-use whole-sale when possible, simply coping all of dublin
core seems to be a solution to a non-problem.

As new formats are created, we can look to existing formats like
dublin core, we have done that with hAudio and attempted to reuse
terms such as CONTRIBUTER, IMHO this is the proper way to proceed. Not
a new dc-kitchen-sink-and-more approach.
