[Odrl-version2] Duty?

Let's say I want to grant permission to someone that they can use my
image online, as long as they attribute it to me.  I'm not certain how
to convey that duty within ODRL.  It looks like [1] I can attach a duty
to an action and that the duty may consist of a constraint.  So, would
that mean something like this:

    <o:permission>
        <o:action resource="display">
            <o:duty>
                <o:constraint name="attribution" operator="eq"
rightOperand="Stuart Myles" />
            </o:duty>
        </o:action>
    </o:permission>

Although, if that's the case, then why do I need to "wrap" the
constraint in the duty?  What is special about the duty constraint that
isn't true of other constraints (e.g. only use the asset in the UK)?  In
which case, can't I say this:

    <o:permission>
        <o:action resource="display">
            <o:constraint name="spatial" operator="eq"
rightOperand="uk"/>
            <o:constraint name="attribution" operator="eq"
rightOperand="Stuart Myles"/>
        </o:action>
    </o:permission>

Maybe other duties are more complex and thus need to be grouped somehow?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Stuart
