It strikes me that it would be very convenient to have CC tagging incorporated in the standard tagging tools. id3tag, mpginfo, etc.

This reminds me of something I've been wondering about. Suppose the
tools you mentioned are updated to include CC metadata writing support.
It becomes very simple for anyone to CC-tag MP3s. Now suppose some
dishonest people start tagging MP3s in which they don't own the
copyright with CC metadata pointing to false license info pages (hosted
some lawless place alongside online casinos and porn sites). These MP3s
are then released onto P2P networks, blogged, etc. Is there any way a
search agent can distinguish these falsely CC-licensed files from
actually CC-licensed files?
