Reassessing applicability of (legacy) concepts

Hi!

We are mostly talking about adding new concepts to ODRL and/or extending 
already existing ones. But we've never questioned the 
practicality/applicability of some of ODRL's (legacy) concepts. For 
example, we have actions like install/uninstall [1,2] or move [3] that 
were added to ODRL 1.0 back in 2002 [4], but were hardly changed ever 
since and seem oddly specific considering actions like "download" or 
"query" aren't included in ODRL.

My point is that instead of solely adding stuff to ODRL, maybe we should 
rethink/reassess the applicability of some of its legacy concepts too. 
Couple of them were carried over from version to version although their 
initial motivations/use cases might not be relevant anymore.

what do you think?
