Hello !

I've read there : http://infomesh.net/2002/rdfinhtml/   that one could use :

<body><p><a rel="meta" type="application/rdf+xml" 
href="meta.rdf">blargh</a>[...]

instead of :

<head>
<title>My Document</title>
<link rel="meta" type="application/rdf+xml" href="meta.rdf"/>
</head>


So, would something like :

<!-- Icon for the user -->
<a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/'><img border='0' 
alt='Creative Commons' src='http://img.jamendo.com/ext/cc0.gif'></a>
<!-- RDF -->
<a rel="meta" type="application/rdf+xml" 
href="http://www.jamendo.com/somework.rdf" style='display:none'>Creative 
Commons RDF</a>

be a valid CC license declaration, provided somework.rdf is okay ?

The problem is that I'm telling users that they have to put CC metadata 
on their website. We want to keep it simple so this solution would be 
ideal, but it's not in 
http://creativecommons.org/technology/metadata/extend ...

LINKing to a .rdf is not supported by all readers but what about this ? 
if valid, is it supported at all ? ;-)

Thanks for your help !
