Yes! Exactly what I've been saying all along about why namespaces are unnecessary:
... even if you don't use the actual Dublin Core namespace or the actual Dublin Core element names, you can *define* your own element by saying that is a particular Dublin Core concept (like dateCreated, or dateModified, or whatever other dates may make it into the model). These concepts have been well-defined for years, and you can re-use the concepts without re-using the syntax.
I don't think Mark will agree with my conclusion, but that's ok 
It's only one of my reasons for being hostile towards namespaces.
Anyway, I'll be happy with the new format as long as it supports a "name" field in whatever "wire" format they come up with, and as long as it supports a dateModified field in addition to a dateCreated field.
