This is a fault (one amongst many) that can be laid to the "specialness" of the 
Fedora DC datastream, which is both a datastream like other datastreams and yet 
also the privileged record of special information about the object to which it 
belongs.

Perhaps you can explain a little more about your intention? Are you using the 
DC datastream as a container of description for the object? In any event, why 
do you want to store this information with the filesystem-persisted object 
serialization? Is it to make this information visible to other systems, or 
perhaps for some other reason?
