It is possible to mix and match several metadata schemes. There is 
nothing to stop a document using a few DC's and a few AC's.

Whatsmore, use of the <title /> element is just another metadata 
scheme. We are already forcing people to use this metadata scheme, so 
what's so wrong about forcing the use of a different scheme instead.

Once more, I say... scrap the <title/> element! You know it makes sense!

I don't know much about DTDs, but presumably we can make it mandatory in 
the same way that we make 'xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"' mandatory 
for all XHTML1.1 documents.
