If I omit the asset/@uid, will that imply that the policy applies to the wrapper asset?  I may not actually have a URI scheme for my news message, you see.  So, it would be convenient for me if I don't have to make one up!

Stuart - currently an Asset is mandatory in the Model, but I can see the use cases for your example.

In fact, if you look at the Birthday Attribute example in (in Section 6 of the XML WD [1]), you can see that the Asset is omitted - it is assumed to be the "parent" block of XML (in this case, the person's birthdate).

I think we need to add this to the Model (somehow) as the use cases for embedding ODRL in online digital content is growing....
