[DCAT] dcat:mediaType use .

Hi Fadi, all

While looking at the basic example in the spec [1], I have a small 
question on the use of dcat:mediaType.
The example said:

[[ :dataset-001-csv
        a dcat:Distribution ;
        dcat:downloadURL <http://www.example.org/files/001.csv> ;
        dct:title "CSV distribution of imaginary dataset 001" ;
        dcat:mediaType "text/csv" ;
        dcat:byteSize "5120"^^xsd:decimal ;
        .
]]

Since the range of dcat:mediaType is dct:MediaTypeOrExtent, I would have 
expected having something like
   [[
     .....
      dcat:mediaType [ a dct:MediaTypeOrExtent; rdfs:label "text/csv" ;
     ...
    ]]

Am I wrong? At the same time, I came across this resource of some 
registered formats at W3C namespace http://www.w3.org/ns/formats/. Yes, 
W3C!! Could it be possible to "recommend" somehow to the publishers the 
use of those uris in the spec? So for example, if a distribution is in 
Turtle, we would have
     [[ dcat:mediaType <http://www.w3.org/ns/formats/Turtle> ]]

WDYT ?

Cheers,

Ghislain
