[Odrl-version2] Make it Simpler?

[Renato Iannella]

Alapan's email and a recent paper [1] have made me re-think the ODRL  
V2.0 path.

We have a choice of making ODRL V2.0 more complex OR we can make the  
CORE language simple
and support extensions for related DRM implementations.

That is, ODRL has a core REL aspect that does not include all the  
associated functions like
Digital Signatures, negotiations, legal stuff etc. All that can be  
added with specific profiles.
The idea is we keep the core language "clean" from these additional  
features.

This is just an idea - and I welcome comments from the WG.

(and happy new year to all!)

Cheers
