The i18n WG feels that it will be confusing to people to see the dc:language
declaration in the example, and that one of two things should therefore
happen:

1. remove the dc:language line from the example

2. explain in the text that it is not clear what is the likely effect of
including dc:language as shown, nor how that information should relate to
the xml:lang attribute.

Cheers,
RI

        Issue R103-21
        
        Proposed Classification: Clarification / Typo / Editorial 
        
        Resolution: Reject 
        
        We do not see any relationship between the two declarations. The
        attribute xml:lang is mandatory in PLS and dc:language will be
ignored. 
        
        Please indicate whether you are satisfied with the VBWG's
resolution,
        whether you think there has been a misunderstanding, or whether you
wish
        to register an objection.

        Comment: 
        How is dc:language="en-US" meant to be interpreted if it appears in
a
        metadata element? How does it affect the xml:lang declaration on PLS
        elements?
