Speaking only for myself, how about a combination? That is, I'd like
to see Dublin Core in DocBook and a way to put OMF's tweaks and
additions to DC into DocBook via namespaces.

In other words, OMF is *largely* based on Dublin Core. It seems to me
to make more sense to integrate DC into DocBook first.

Failing that, I'd like to see the task force approach, since that
would mean *most* of Dublin Core had been integrated into DocBook,
even if only by way of OMF.

Best,
