Superb.

 From my perspective, it fully encompasses all major DRM scenarios 
(free and monied transactions; for individuals and groups), and does 
so in a way that is laid out simply and elegantly. Anyone who needs an 
overall solution to the problem of DRM and permissions for digital use 
on the web should be directed to this document.

But since it's is a *working* specification, I believe I may also be 
permitted a couple of English-language niggles:

--Table 2, top "Comment/Example"
"For example, a Print permission shall be constraint by 10 times..." 
is not grammatically correct.
I believe what is meant is:
"For example, a Print permission shall be constrained to 10 times..."

--Table 2, "Semantic" column, second row, there is an extra period at 
the end.

--Table 2, "Semantic" column,  "Purpose" row:
"May be used to constraint the..."  -- again, "constraint" is not a 
verb. I believe "May be used to constrain the..." is the correct 
English usage.


Just change those, and as far as I can tell it's ready for XML and to 
be applied to the known universe. :-)
