DefaultDublinCoreImpl is the default Dublin Core implementation provided
in CMFDefault as an example. It's not designed to be extensible. It's an
example.

If one wants more flexible metadata, the right way to go about it is to
define another mixin class for DublinCore-like metadata, and use it in
you content objects. A flexible mixin would probably make use of the
Metadata Tool.
