I understand that it may be useful to skim through permissions attached to the images displayed; however, such information would be provided for the end user only and would not need special markup. I imagine it could be extracted and added to the document automatically (perhaps on the fly). Bots should be able to get the complete structured usage information from the images themselves.

So, take for example a Flickr photo listing page, with 20 photos on the page. It would be quite useful if that page gave the license for each photo, so you can very quickly tell which are usable for commercial purposes, for example. (And you need to associate the licensing info with the region on the page you care about, because the program can't tell you which photos are good, only your eye can.)
