Then what is the license? Exactly what portion of the RDF/XML is 'the
license' and what part is syntactic and semantic sugar you all are putting
in for some escoteric reason? I'm assuming dc:creator isn't part of the
license, so we can do what we want with that. I'm assuming that if I change
anything contained in License is untouchable:

<License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd-nc/1.0";><br />
   <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution"; /><br />
   <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction"; /><br />
   <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Distribution"; /><br />
   <prohibits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/CommercialUse"; /><br
/>
   <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice"; /><br />
</License>

I'm assuming I can't remove or alter the elements, data, or whatever with
this, except to use qnames since I have my own use for default namespace.

Put page up, highlight exactly what part of the RDF/XML has to remain
untouched from the generated content. Don't assume.
