Robert Weir  commented on OFFICE-3415:
--------------------------------------

But in your example, how can an application present an editing UI?  There is no way to tell whether "seafood" is the English version of "viande" or "fruits de mer".

I suppose the app could just give a flat list of four subjects, with zero structure.  But that isn't very useful.

Ideally you would want structure like:

<dc:subject >
<term xml:lang="en">seafood</term>
<term xml:lang="fr">fruits de mer</term>
</dc:subject> 

At least that matches the structure of the data.  Unfortunately, that is not what DC does.
