What about public performances?  
As it stands right now yes.

But the since public performance is defined in most copyright legislation around the world it would be easy to include. The definition would remain clear and certain.

The only question is whether this is desirable and that leads to the debate about how CC licences relate to collecting societies which collect royalties for public performances.

If the Commercial Rights Reserved did not permit public performance then public performance would have to take place in terms of a collecting society license or the equivalent take and pay rule under legislation.

What is important IMO is that that is a right the limits of which can be easily ascertained.
 
Movie theater performances, concert
performances, use as background music in a restaurant?  Are commercial
public performances allowed under this definition of commercial?
