I think it has to do with the fact that most processors of dc:creator
expect strings not structured content, so to use it consistently with
estabilshed use we would lose all that useful person and mbox etc
substructure.

e.g.
http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/

[[
Examples of Creator include a person, an organization, or a service.
Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity.
]]

http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/

doesn't specify domain or range, so I guess we could have dc:creator
here.

There are people on this list with better knowledge about this than
me...
