Very good idea.

Just a few comments (uncommented stuff gets +1):

Does it make sense to hardwire the doctype of the document itself?
Isn't this redundant with the schema or dtd declaration?

> <lenya:publication-date>Date when the document was first published</lenya:publication-date>
> <lenya:modification-date>Date when the document was last published</lenya:modification-date>

How do these two relate to dc:date?

That means that we have to crawl all documents to build the
navigation. Is that the intention?

Why should they be stored in a different file?

I suspect that some of the dc elements will be different for the same
document for different languages (e.g. title, language, date,
description) so it should be ok to store the meta data together with
the content (and hence "have different metadata for every language").
