At the risk of unsettling the consensus here, I still have to wonder why we are suggesting that dc:title be rich text rather than just plain text ? (rich text for dc:description makes total sense to me). To Jim C's point on the workgroup call yesterday, if we consider how tools will want to use this data, the typical use cases probably include showing the titles of resources in lists, tables, drop-downs, etc. Titles in this context would seem to have arbitrary fonts, colors, emphasis, etc or the burden would be put on the client to strip out the markup. Since this is likely one of the most commonly used properties in our integration scenarios, if we want it to be rich text, it would be useful to confirm that's the desire of the domain workgroups and the most common thing for tools to share the data in this form, otherwise, I would recommend we just make things as simple as possible for clients and call the oslc dc:title property plain text. Sorry to nitpick...Scott
