This would be true for in-context metadata, but could not be for 
outside-content metadata (the RDF/XML). In essence, we would have two 
classes of metadata; two different models. In some contexts the object 
of a dc:title would be a literal (which is what it's supposed to be) 
and in other cases, could only be an object reference.

Moreover, we would have no clear way to differentiate them!
