Sorry, I don't understand where this data would come from.

Currently,
dc:title comes from $doc.title
dc:description comes from the abstract
dc:language comes from the l10n.language of the root note
dc:identifier comes from an identifier found on /*/*info (look at the
template for the options)

That would probably be the easiest way.

It may be easier for them to go to XHTML, I dunno.
