Hi Wendy,
The two blocks have (had) slightly different purposes; the first one
describes a work with a particular license. The latter only describes
the license.
That said, we no longer recommend embedding either in HTML pages. We
previously recommended embedding the former block in an HTML comment.
While this approach had advantages over other available approaches
when we developed it, it still has lots of problems, including over
verbosity, invisibility to many parsers, and lack of standards
compliance. We're now recommending the use of RDFa to describe the
license of a page. See
http://creativecommons.org/choose/results-one?license-code=by for an
example of the HTML+RDFa needed to describe the license of a work, and
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/ccREL for more details.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Nathan
