Accommodate canonical CC-BY-4.0 text #488
Conversation
I'm not sure whether the accommodations I've made here are possible to support, just making them as it's easier than separately describing how https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.txt differs from the current XML representation.

Note the the current text doesn't make much sense; the sentence only works with the link. It was probably copied from the CC HTML version and the link lost. I think it would be fine to drop the current text entirely and thus avoid alt match, that is unless it is important to match texts previously published by SPDX (I imagine it might be).

I'm not certain, but it probably is important for matching previous texts. I would leave the alt text in.

Similar probably applies to other CC-*-4.0 licenses, could be applied after working out these changes. |

I moved this inside the optional block because it doesn't make sense to have
title
optional
title
body
meaning that
title
title
body
is a reasonable rendering.
And note that "Creative Commons " is not included in the version provided by CC, thus made optional.

I'm actually treating all titleText as optional when creating the license matching templates - so we don't really need to wrap the titleText with optional.

Upstream has an unfortunate typo underscore here (since 2014-01-10), so I think we want something like:
… More<alt match=" |_"> </alt>considerations…as well.

Pointed this out to them at creativecommons/creativecommons.org#714 ... maybe they'll fix going forward.
I'll go ahead and add your suggestion in any case.
As suggested by @wking review.
