If 'otherwise allowable under copyright law' you mean those rights  
protected by fair use, creative commons licenses don't revoke those.  
As I'm sure you read, the first thing the legal code states is that  
the licenses do not effect one's fair use of the work.

What other uses are there when copyright is routinely interpreted as  
"all rights reserved"? Your words imply that there are a set of rights  
which fair use doesn't carve out but that traditional copyright  
doesn't also doesn't protect, rights that you think cc-by-nd-nc voids.
