I don't think there's anything wrong with that... as a fallback.

I think it makes more sense to have some sort of identifier for a Work given at license-generation time, so that:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/?ccid=4815162342

...would show a customized deed for that object.

Why do this? Because works don't stay where they're supposed to. Because they don't stay in the same form or format.

So algorithmically I'd suggest:

  1. check any passed ID value
  2. failing that, check the referrer
  3. failing that, show a generic deed
