makes sense to me.. also thinking that for the foreseeable future most 
people will probably sparql on dct:subject (or simply a ?o of 
dbpedia-URI).. imho people / common folks will ultimately query on what 
they know, and they'll know what's in there templates and what they see 
in source.. so for now the dublin core stuff probably rules.. unless one 
of the others makes it in to XHTML+RDFa source big time over the next year.

also rel="tag" is of the utmost consideration (imho)

false logic?
