Jumping in here on the legal team piece, please see inline.

(1) user visits the deed. It might be required for the legal code to be included there in some form (such as an expanding widget, for example). This is what I'm hearing from the legal team - it's not 100% clear yet, but a possibility. In such a setting, the legal code would need to

- not contain the big header
- not include the "back to deed" link at the bottom
- not include links to translations being proposed for the legalcode page (the deed already has locale links)

What Dan's alluding to here is a possibility I mentioned to him when discussing 4.0.  Specifically, a few affiliates (maybe one or two) have in the past asked that the deed be reproduced at the top of the legal code.  Dan's reaction back was, if it's determined there is a decision taken in the 4.0 process to locate the deed and legal code in closer, immediate proximity for some reason, then there exists the other possibility of having the legal code appear in a scroll box (or other) on the deed rather than the reverse.

This is not yet a discussion framed for comment with the affiliates, I'm trying to follow up with those couple of affiliates who have petitioned for this change in the past first.  It's not at all certain it will progress, just so you're aware.

Thanks for the good discussion.  We'll progress the "what do we need/desire from a legal perspective to remain unchanged" on the affiliate list.
