 This is a more general question, but a good one. Personally, I think
 moving the metadata that is inthe scope of DC to DC syntax would be a GOOD
 THING.

 > Yes -- supporting in the sense of doing sth. meaningful with it should
 really be up to every individual application. But "not causing an error"
 is probably not enough. For applications that can load and store OpenMath,
 I'd rather require "not causing an error ''and preserving the data''".
 That SOUNDS reasonable, but what worries me is a field like
 LastEditedDate: an application that preserved this in ignorance of its
 meaning would possibly not be doing the right thing.
