Yes, we did. It would be nice to hear the status on adding a optional
representation license element, which was one of the ideas GOB
floated.

I think having no-representation as the default is fine. Having no way
to say, "I'm sure this is my work" is lame.

W/R/T moral rights: lalalalalala I'm not listening. I really don't
want to think about anyone responsible for writing Creative Commons
licenses even thinking for a second that preservation of moral rights
is at all compatible with a healthy creative commons (lowercase). Said
people need to re-read _Free Culture_ VERY SLOWLY until they get the
point that getting authors' permission is really, really difficult.
