I'm not saying use RDF... this was in reply to Nils' last 2 questions: * Should there be a lot of DC elements that generators should use (as opposed to other elements). How would we map the current set of elements to DC elements? * Can all of the current elements be easily mapped? Which elements must stay? doesn't this xsl file translate Metalink elements into DC? <origin> -> <dc:source> <published> -> <dc:date> <description> -> <dc:description> <updated> -> <dcterms:modified> anyways, I've been advised against using DC by IETF folk so it's probably not worth pursuing. :) -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
