I only noticed a few day ago that both dc: and dcterms: are used for 
http://purl.org/dc/terms/
in the initial context. In most examples or practical uses so far, I've
seen dc: being used for 
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
instead, making it easy to distinguish between the legacy vocabulary and
DCTerms. (Practical example:
http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/User_Guide/Publishing_Metadata)


What's the rationale behind this decision in the initial context?
