Thanks for the work!  :-0

I was beginning to think either ODRL was dead, or I was dead, or I'd been removed from the list...

And good luck with your paper; I read through most of it, and all I can think of to say is to repeat/paraphrase that line by Margaret Mead, that the only thing that ever changes the world is a small number of committed people. I think ODRL (or something like it) would fill a great gaping hole that now exists in the world's communication network, but clearly unless people who aren't already on this list realize it, it isn't going to happen.

That's all I can offer you, though, since I'm not a specialist in data language mechanics - except, if you don't mind, I will mention that you have an inordinately large number of simple grammar errors in the paper - maybe somewhere between 10 and 20. I can't help noticing this (I was an English major at university, many years ago). I suggest you have someone proof it for you before submitting it (if it's going to be submitted in written form, which I assume it is). Or if you like, I can do that for you, and send you a list possible corrections.
