It's strange that you say you prefere the role attribute, and then go on explaining all about <link rel="copyright">. Also you didn't even mention, _why_ you would prefere role attribute over separate <copyright> element. Anyway... The problem with <link rel="copyright"> is that, well, we have had it for quite some time available, but who uses it? Practically none [1]. On the other hand, there are tons of pages, who use visible copyright notices. I can't really imagine, why would anyone want an invisible copyright notice? If it's not visible, then for average Joe who doesn't peek into page source, it's completely of no use. And <link> doesn't help at all when you want to mark up your visible copyright notice.
