Also, Rights version 3-4 were made having rights extensibility in mind, for use cases like adding "captchaComment" right, or "annotate" right, or "applicationXusage" right .... so I don't think is very good if applications are gonna have to choose their custom icon to represent their custom right, because is gonna be a mess in the UI. There are few possible icons to choose from (in order to keep the look&feel unitary) and having the developers choose their own icon for the right they extend is gonna break the UI consistency. I think is much easier, extensible and less visual cryptic to textual describe an extensible right. Placed side by side: Version 4 takes a lot of space, yes, but the problem with side by side is that is less readable (harder to scan the rights order). Also it's easier to have a bigger area to select when you want to drag an item.
