Ah!  *Now* I understand your point.  Good to know.  Is there a URL for the 
current SDPX draft?

So would the text below be a valid LICENCE.spdx file, for someone trying to 
declare that "spdx-tutorial" was declared to be licensed as "CC-BY-3.0+" by the 
package originator?  Please note that the example below is already excessively 
long & complex.  For example, information like "PackageName" is duplicative 
(this would be embedded in the project, which already knows its name).  I'm 
seriously thinking about dropping "Creator" (who cares?) and DataLicense (it's 
so short and structured that it's improbable anyone could enforce rights on it 
anyway).  Using XML is a complete non-starter for this use case.
