It strikes me that the WebDAV PROPFIND method might be ideal for this usecase.

That presumably says the same thing as embedding rdf:about="" in a page
(the current URI is licensed).

Using X-Header would allow a way to verify a page is licensed under CC without spending the bandwidth & time to retrieve & parse the entire page. You can do a simple HEAD request against the page, and presumably the X-License header would be in the response.

Thanks,
Sam
