ObDisclaimer: I'm just quoting something I've been told, and it's very 
possible that Thorny or someone else who knows better is going to 
appear in a moment and say "Deborah, that's not at all what we meant; 
stop misinforming the list!"

But basically what you are missing is that the Fedora developers say 
the built in DC datastream is misnamed and was never intended for 
anything other than internal use. You can make your own datastream and 
name it whatever you want, and that will be the Dublin core for OAI PMH.

As I understand it.
