Again, I would appreciate if you could allow Creative Commons to define Creative Commons' needs, especially when it comes to changing the way licenses are imposed on people. We've seen from our usage that the most we can expect a user to do is to add *one* chunk of HTML to their site. That's it. That chunk has to be both user-visible and machine-readable. But even without CC, you're making a number of assumptions that are fairly narrow, in order to fit your point that someone should not be able to define any metadata for a chunk of HTML. I think it's clear that the Ubiquity example shows how your assumption is false. There is value in embedded metadata that is fully expressible in a *chunk* of HTML that can be copied and pasted wherever you want. -Ben
