If you like:

<meta:field meta:about="http://docs.net/1"; meta:resource="http:// 
ex.net/1" meta:property="http://ex.net/foo"/>

Package:

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://ex.net/1";>
   <rdf:value>Jane Doe</rdf:value>
</rdf:Description>

Note additional explicit meta:about attribute on the field.

Maybe a display-property field for this sort of simple case?

That wouldn't work for more complicated cases like citations (unless  
we wanted to require a formatted string property in the RDF/XML), but  
that's fine; neither will an XPath/XForms binding.

I think that's a much simpler appraoch that will avoid having to open  
a huge can-of-worms of formally constraining the RDF/XML sytnax in ODF.
