yes. Current dialog is based on IPTC/IIM editor not XMP. This is why
multiple language description do not exist yet. of course, i will based the
new XMP editor dialog on IPTC/IIM plus few improvements duing XMP new
features. Lang-alt is one of this.

Note : new digiKam Database schema will include multiple comments from
different authors and language. This will come with 0.10.0 release dedicaced
to KDE4

Yes, i have thinking about, but i would not touch Xmp.exif info  by default
and only dc, iptc, photoshop. It still in my todo.

Xmp.iptc.Location is not dedicaced to remplace
Iptc.Application2.SubLocationand not
Iptc.Application2.LocactionName/LocationCode ? Look on new revision on
document. I have annoted Iptc.Application2.LocactionName/LocationCode as
obsolete... It's fine ?

Right. I have not take a care about xmpDM space.

And about expiratoin date, there is an XMP alternative ?
