This comment from an email from David Blankman:
As EML is becoming an international standard, we need to start thinking about
ways to make EML more intelligent about multiple languages. While EML allows
multiple titles, there is currently no way to indicated that multiple titles
are equivalent. For example,if I have:
<title> North American Forests </title>  AND
<title> Bosques de Norte Americano</title>

EML currently has no way to indicate that these are the same title, just in a
different language.

Matt and I were talking about this at the ISEI-Cancun meeting, but I thought
that it would be a good idea to get this discussion started within eml-dev and
the ILTER group as well.
