A simple statement that the text needs to be something that we can 
include under whatever license we come up for the deliverables we 
produce will suffice.

My hope remains that we settle on MIT.  If the W3C and WHATWG can't come 
to an agreement on a license, then we will need to revisit this -- but 
then again, we will need to revisit a lot of assumptions, so I would 
recommend that we cross that bridge when we get to it.
