It is not necessary that ODF defines additional Dublin Core elements in order to use them in ODF documents;
these Dublin Core properties can simply be used in statements in RDF/XML files.
The "foreign elements" section 21.1 only talks about elements in ODF XML files, not RDF/XML files, so the fact that ODF defines some XML elements in the Dublin Core namespace is not a problem here.

Since ODF 1.2 has a new RDF metadata framework, the meta.xml file could be regarded as "legacy"that is not further extended. Future version of ODF may deprecate it in favor of RDF/XML.
