Hi Jörg,

Yes, of course, I cannot delete it since it comes with Dublin Core
Metadata Set. My recommendation to Susanne was

with the pronunciation at "from the examples" ;-)

I agree that it is (still) indented to identify the language of names,
remarks a.s.o. which do not have a individual 'xml:lang' attribute such as
the general 'name' of a station. An additional name (like Budyšin) already
has its 'xml:lang' filed.
But I think that we should not add a 'xml:lang' attribute to _all_ fields
which may contain a kind of plain text (of any language). This would mean
to add 'xml:lang' to all fields defined with type 'string' - which would
expand both the XSD and RailML files in an unnecessary way. This is the
point where from my opinion <dc:language> comes into play...
Best regards,
Dirk.
