Thanks, Ben and Richard. We are using PROAI, and we had come to the same 
conclusion: returning our Dublin core data stream mapped to oai_dc. That's what 
we are planning on implementing now.

My concern is more about Fedora going forward. This is clearly nonintuitive for 
people; the Fedora users list fairly regularly has people ask about the oai_dc 
datastream and then be told they shouldn't be using it. Basically, there's an 
internal-only datastream which has the same name as a reserved namespace which 
most Fedora Commons users expect to be publishing. That feels to me like a 
pretty major bug that there should be some plan to fix in the future. Yes, 
there are workarounds with harvesters, but having to go through a workaround -- 
having to even realize that there is a need to go through a workaround -- is a 
roadblock for a lot of people.
