Theo -- I think you may have misunderstood. The schema is still
http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/dc-schema.xsd, and it defines a
root, srw_dc:dc

It imports http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/simpledc20021212.xsd for
defintion of the individual dc elements, whereas before it imported
http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/dc-elements.xsd, similarly for
definition of the individual elements. But neither of these is/was "the dc
schema".

I am happy with this. It brings us one step closer to a schema that combines
dc,
dcterms and dcmitype. This schema does not specify a root tag but I will
support <dc>
<dc:dc> and <oai_dc:dc> as root tags.
