Looks pretty good to me, but of course web app authors should take a 
closer look too.  We should get ccHost up to this point. (-;

Also, one sore point I've heard a lot lately is that many people who share 
their work under CC licenses don't make it clear how they should be 
attributed.  For example:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/455919219/ ->
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ has the text,
"You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or 
licensor"

Well, what's the name to use for this photographer?  "Joi"?  "joi at flickr"?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/455919219/ ->
http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/ ->
http://www.flickr.com/people/joi/ has the text, "About Joi / Joi Ito".

Which is the one formally specified for attributors to use?

-- Asheesh.
