Shouldn't there be some degree of markup for the specification of digital rights for a chunk of a content? Wouldn't inclusion of drm markup from content acquired from other parties allow for giving credit where credit is due? Markup would aknowledge digital rights and state digital righs or preferences for any given content. If there was such markup would these tags be displayed, or displayed as part of tooltip data? Or would it be invisible metadata like tagging that could be made visible via css? Digital rights enforcement is another issue. In the context of html though digital rights markup (which is arguably part of managing digital rights) seems a relevant topic.
