Based on conversations with Ian @ Mozilla, and later with plh, I'm actually pursuing a related action for the HTML 5 Document, and for that document getting agreement for cc-by is sufficient (modulo Henri's concerns). I do believe that once we get agreement for one document, there essentially is no requirement for any other document to publish under a more restrictive license (which is why the W3C might want to move slowly on this, as it essentially affects all working groups). If you would like ACTION-29 to reflect something more, than that part can be pursued separately. - Sam Ruby
