That's exactly the point I was trying to make in the post that Bob  
responded to; every document that was in-process prior to 5378 is  
going to have to carry this "We don't know" boilerplate.

I'm OK with that, and think that the revised working looks to be  
acceptable, although John's argument about the strength of assertion  
seems reasonable ( "We can't say you can copy it" is more realistic  
than "You cannot copy it").
