There's been some work at data.gov.uk to get UK Crown Copyright made
into something two-way compatible with CC-by - that is, they retain
copyright, and change the licence. Perhaps that UK work could be 
repurposed for IE. I'm vague on the fine details ... anyone?

I think this would be an excellent achievement for WMIE.  Is anyone willing to do the legwork?
