So, it seems like the Creative Commons site just blurts out CC
metadata for every page as 'by', without actually identifying any of
the works on the page, nor the creators, nor anything else, really.

For example, 'A Spectrum of Rights' is by-nc-sa:

http://creativecommons.org/learn/licenses/comics4

...but the metadata just says 'by'.*

Similarly, the weblog archive:

http://creativecommons.org/weblog/archive

...has several 'works' (I think), but they're not individually indexed
with Work elements, nor are the creators identified.

Surely it would be better to set a good example for giving more
complete and accurate metadata.

* Which brings up the extremely interesting point of whether a Web
page is a composite or derivative work.
