I suspect that both Ralph and Theo are using the same prefixes (dc, mods
etc.) for record formats. This is where we revisit the question of
maintaining a centralised registry (or rather list on a web page) with
these standard prefixes. If I recall, Ray didn't really want to maintain
such a list beyond a few "core" formats (although what is a core format
is a loaded question especially if we want SRU/SRW taken up in
non-bibliographic domains).
