Re: [urn] META URN namespace registration

Hello Juha,

As far as I can see, this namespace identifier is ready to be 
registered. For the avoidance of doubt, would you mind verifying that 
the most up-to-date version is contained in the document you sent to 
this list on 2020-05-27?

(Although that completed registration template does not exactly conform 
to RFC 8141, it errs on the side of including more information than 
required by RFC 8141, so it seems acceptable to me; but I would be happy 
to work with you on moving around some of the content so that it is more 
conformant.)

There is no mention in the registrations that "dc:terms" is a defined sub-namespace, but nothing rules out that it exists.  If the intended prefix is "dc", then the URN should be "urn:meta:dc-terms-title".  If the intended prefix is "dc:terms", it would prevent the reader from making this mistake if you state that explicitly.  Indeed, if "dc" is expected to have sub-namespaces, it might be useful to annotate its registration with their names.
