Hey,
I have been directed to this list to discuss a change I would like to make to
the punctuation on the creative commons deeds.
My original comment was that the hyphen is used inconsistently:

It is my understanding that the following (preferred) form is incorrect:
Attribution-Share Alike
I would suggest that the following is more stylistically correct:
Attribution Share-Alike

On that note, what do people think? It would be nice to get consensus.
