the dcterms:valid element is not quite expressive enough in that it is
limited to dates (and does not include the time). dcterms:available is
equivalent to atom:updated. There appears to not be any dcterm
equivalent to my max-age element. In other words, the dublin core stuff
does not get us quite to where the expires extension does.

I know the Atom working group seemed to be against reusing dublin core
in the core Atom spec, but since this is an extension, were
dcterms:valid and/or dcterms:available ever considered as
alternatives? From my understanding they appear to be describing
essentially the same thing.
I don't particularly like the whole DCMI Period structure they're
using, but since it's an existing format, any aggregator author that
wishes to support this sort of thing is probably going to be
supporting it anyway. Adding another extension that does essentially
the same thing just gives them more work to do.
Or have I complete misunderstood the intended use?
