Just to be clear, I wasn't attempting to propose/introduce/suggest a new
format. I was attempting to state that we'd need "something else",
something other than rel="license" if we are to address this issue for
Microformats.

I was also attempting to point out that this is a non-issue for hAudio
at the present because there are not enough examples to warrant the need
for stating the license of an hAudio object.

The latter of the two statements should close hAudio Issue D6, we should
not support rel="license" in hAudio:
