[cc-community] Mixed Licenses on a Single Web Page

I have in the past added metadata to a web page to indicate its
Creative Commons license to a search engine.

Let's say that I create a community site whereby each user can specify
a different license of the content they post. If I post an image as
cc-by-sa, I can encode the web page with that metadata. But what if
another site user posts a comment to my image page, and they want to
license all their comment text as cc-by-nc? How do I indicate that
part of the web page is cc-by-sa and another part is cc-by-nc? Is it
possible? Or do we just assume the license refers to the primary
content of the page, i.e. my image?

Thanks for the ideas.
