Agreed.  Perhaps call these "SPDX license comments" - since that's what they 
are?

I disagree, you could still adjust that over time.
A future version of SPDX could ask tools to support both
"SPDX-License-Identifier" and "SPDX-License-Expression",
and then recommend using "SPDX-License-Expression".
You can change a lot, as long as you give people time & a reasonable process
to do the transition.  I think it'd be a good idea, but it'd need to be over
*time* - since currently we're all using "SPDX-License-Identifier".
