Status of the Dublin Core to Topic Maps mapping?

Hi all,

I wonder if someone is working on WD 29111 [1] and if I can safely use
the proposed PSIs and mappings.

Further, I found some oddities like mapping dc:creator to an
association, which does not work in 98% of the use cases I found
since dc:creator is almost always a string containing just the name of
the creator (which is also proposed by Dublin Core [2]). The same
holds true for dc:publisher and dc:contributor.

Therefore it's difficult to process the DC -> TM mapping with RTM [3]
(a draft is available at [4]).

I understand the advantages of treating the creator as topic and
connect it to the resource via an association, but it does not work
practically (without manual editing).
