That is quite right. good Vs. Bad practice is better way of saying it.

I think that either way is valid, but not subproping in this instance is
bad practice. I also think it matters albeit in a very very minor way.
On counterpoint if he must use lots of terms from Dublin core, or if he
uses a lot of terms that are not really essential to his vocab then
using subclass/subprop etc would be bad practice. The proper balance is
key.
