allowing XML rather than RDF

I'd like to be able to use the CC schema at http://web.resource.org/cc/ 
in non-RDF XML.  This is because the schema should be useful to people 
who, right or wrong, aren't willing to pay the RDF tax.  A lot of 
people will not use RDF at this point, and there's no technical reason 
why that should prevent them from using the CC schema.

Obviously I can just go ahead and do that, but there is one small 
adjustment that would be nice.  The namespace definition/description at 
http://web.resource.org/cc/ says "The CC schema lets you describe 
copyright licenses in RDF".  If this said "The CC schema lets you 
describe copyright licenses in XML", it would be easier to sell people 
on using CC.

Thoughts?
