Forgive my newbie-ness, but I have one further question that's related to my original "which rdf block in the response is used for what purpose" question.  The application I'm working on, dspace, allows the administrator to view a transformed/serialized version of the rdf, which I believe represents the license in ccREL. 

I am unfamiliar with pre-1.5 versions of the API, and understand that this application used the integration approach with Creative Commons. 

If I enter a license url such as http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/rdf, it returns the transformed version of the rdf to which I referred above.

Was that same pattern followed for version 2 licenses? (e.g. http://creativecommons.org . . ./2.0/.../rdf)   The versions of the transformed rdf for both the version 2 and version 3 licenses (in dspace) look very similar. If that's the case, my application may no longer need to be transforming the rdf as it was prior to my work.

What is the current recommendation on using the rdf that is returned by the CC issue call?

For example, there are two rdf blocks in the response. Is one for backward compatibility? How do you recommend using the response, e.g. if embedding the rdf in the page, should one or both of the rdf blocks be used?

Example from response document:
