Stephen, thanks for your feedback/comments.

Just to clarify this requirement - like Creative Commons - there are a 
number
of predefined licenses that have well known URI identifiers.

We can do this in ODRL today, *except* that the <asset> would have to 
be omitted
as you do not know this - the "link" between the two would come when the
navigation occurs *from* the asset to the rights expression.

The V2 model/semantics would need to make this clear.
