No.  I don't think the defintion of a 'work' is going to pose any problems,
except to people who are trying to violate the terms of the license by
getting cute with packaging.

That would be silly.  Even if someone attempted to litigate under such a
construction, I suspect that the matter will already have been settled by
precedent that web sites, in their entirety, do not comprise a single "work"
as coceived by Title 17.

Let's not worry about changing the license until someone actually finds a
loophole and sues - because I suspect that nobody ever will.
