SimpleLiteral 

This is the default type for all of the DC elements.
It permits text content only with optional
xml:lang attribute.
Text is allowed because mixed="true", but sub-elements
are disallowed because minOccurs="0" and maxOccurs="0" 
are on the xs:any tag.
                
This complexType allows for restriction or extension permitting
child elements.

Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter
codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never
going to be a realistic possibility.  See
RFC 3066 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt and the IANA registry
at http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tag-apps.htm for
further information.
                
The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with
the empty string.
