After discussing with henri this [morning (EST) on IRC][1], a possible  
solution for solving the issue without creating too much hurdles for  
authors and spec would be to use urn.

	urn:dc:title

is a URI and as henri mentioned, "one could register a URI scheme for  
dc".

The same way creative commons could register urn:cc. I understand that  
we loose a bit of the flexibility of namespaces by choosing whatever  
prefix you want, BUT in the deployed markup, I have the feeling  
(survey?), that people are using the same prefix values.

That would avoid also long uris in the rel value which would be  
burdensome for authors, and templates authors.
