I like this approach a lot. A very enthusiastic +1, and a big thanks to
Mark for the insight of separating the issue of legacy and that of
ease-of-authorship.

With my Creative Commons hat on, I'll note that I don't foresee Creative
Commons changing to ":license" immediately, because the search engines
are expecting "license". That said, I'm comfortable with saying that
rel="license" is supported only by "legacy" handlers, since that's
exactly why CC would be reluctant to change to ":license": legacy search
engine methods.
