It's definitely possible to represent the machine-readable, semantically meaningful licensing information in (X)HTML (+RDFa, or some other markup). It's also possible to just say "(X)HTML goes here," and just use (X)HTML as a rich text format. The former could be a solution path; the latter is not much more useful than what we have now. >> Trying to carry licensing information to instruct proper >> usage... >Right.

Although fonts have a few specific issues (e.g. the "you can view/print/edit using this" vs. "you can generate new content with this" distinction). >It is technically simpler to do it for all media types >in a general way. Not sure I agree with that, but it could be useful.
