I see the following option (as outlined the one or the other time before):
SPDX (in the future) assesses and captures licenses on two levels. In my brief words:
Level 1 - License Text and Provision of SPDX-Id
The license text is just captured as is and an SPDX identifier is derived. This id can then be used to identify this particular license text.
Level 2 - License Text, License Text Metadata, Matching Rules and Provision of SPDX-Id
This is the current scheme and requires modelling of the licenses and matching rules.

A big +1 for this. (And until then, namespaced LicenseRef- are an OK approach)
