Hopefully the main consequence is that the PDM encourages more, and more
accurate, annotating of public domain works elsewhere on the web, which
means a bigger universe for Wikimedia projects to pull from (and into
Commons).

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Copyright_tags#Public_domain is currently
richer and works well as far as I can tell, so I wouldn't advocate for using
PDM directly on Commons. Maybe in the future, if PDM is wildly successful
(use, recognition by users and software, ...), as I hope it will be.
