As far as I know (just a little bit of testing like Ben's and
hearsay), Ben is correct about Yahoo. Of course "majority of licenses"
!= "majority of licensed works".
It would be nice to have a largish "test suite" of URLs using
different licenses and annotations to enable better independent
assessment of search engine support for CC and detection of changes in
that support.
