The original intention of the DC datastream was purely to support very basic repository administration, and the "traditional" answer to questions about the advanced use of DC has been, as Ben did, to suggest that a new datastream be created (which would then be able to support arbitrarily complex XML). DC, as a datastream, has always been an absolutely lowest common denominator for object metadata.
In addition to Ben's point about 3.x-series repositories, there is the fact that the Resource Index pulls RDF triples from DC and expanding the range of content that might be found therein would have some interesting knock-on effects on that process. --- A.
