Description Ashok Malhotra 2009-03-18 21:25:21 UTC 
In Section 5, which discusses the metadata section there is an explanation of the mex dialect.

/mex:Metadata/mex:MetadataSection/@Dialect ="http://www.w3.org/2009/02/ws-mex"

   This value indicates the type of the metadata contained within the
   Metadata Section. When used in conjunction with Metadata Reference
   or Location, this allows the inclusion of metadata by reference.

This is a bit cryptic.  I realize it covers the case where the content is a reference to a metadata section and the refered-to section contains the specific dialect.  Recommend adding a few words to clarify.
