Dear Hervé,

If you don't find a stylesheet for this, I'd bet a big reason is the unpredictable-ness of Qualified DC in XML. The format isn't nearly as well-defined in XML as simple DC is - one needs to pull together three different schemas. Plus it's rare to see qualified DC out there that only uses the "official" DC qualifiers.

But this does seem like a resource that should exist. Do folks agree on a semi-authoritative definition of Qualified DC in XML that could be used as the basis for building this kind of stylesheet?

Jenn
