Amended the generic Dublin Core metadata include files to use recommended case for element qualifiers, and removed some qualifiers that are not officially sanctioned.

Corrected DC.Author in the "no robots" include file to DC.Creator and extended DC.Format to DC.Format.medium and the DC.Language value to en-GB.
