    <dc:creator>
      <cc:Agent>
        <dc:title>foo</dc:title>
      </cc:Agent>
    </dc:creator>

vs.

    <dc:creator>
      <foaf:Agent>
        <foaf:name>foo</foaf:name>
      </foaf:Agent>
    </dc:creator>

Still could, no?

Aside: I'm not sure why foaf:name exists when dc:title would seem to 
suit the purpose.
