I disagree. These elements are DC Collections Application Profile; the  
original 15 remain the original 15 for Dublin Core. The fact that http://dublincore.org/documents/usageguide/elements.shtml 
  gives semantics for both DC Core and DC Collections shouldn't mean  
the DC context set should cover both. (After all, why not include all  
the other terms in http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/ ?)

It makes more sense to stick with the 15 in a DC Core profile, minimal  
and interoperable. Define these other terms in a distinct DC  
Collections context set, and keep the reference as normative only for  
the 15 in the DC Core context set. (The reference happens to apply to  
both context sets, but I don't see why this is a problem --- there's  
no overlap.)
