"Going out to CC and back loses all other options from the form."

FYI you can pass anything you want in exit_url, including state you want to be passed back when the user "proceeds" back to the exit url.

No offense, but I don't really want people's database passwords going into your web server logs. ;) Of course it could pass a session ID, or use some JavaScript popup goodies, but that's a second step after making it work at all.

Another approach is to make the license chooser a popup and have the exit url use javascript to set a license field on a form in the parent page.
See <http://creativecommons.org/technology/developerdocs>, which I suppose could use more examples.

I'll see if I can whip up a clean iframe implementation as a demo.
