Doesn't have anything directly to do with licenses.  Here I'm mainly 
concerned with how to express these terms in RDF so that people 
searching for CC-licensed content can find exactly what they want.

Tom Hill provided a pretty compelling use case for bpm and time 
signature.  If there are other terms that would be useful to people 
searching for music (available in ID3 or not) I'd be interested to hear.
