The key for the bill of rights might be to model some of it on how the creative commons folks have made their moves. Instead of demanding rights, allow for a positive feedback cycle by creating levels of openness that people can advertise in specific ways. I may license my work BY-SA, but others may insist on BY-NC-SA. Each of those has recognizable icons like RSS that indicate what you can get. So let me advertise on my site a standard for people's "mydata" rights. I could say that I keep everything private, but allow openid authentication. Or my social site might let you get an export of any of your data, but not let you link to external signifiers (maybe i'm very concerned about spammers or link farmers...) Give me a way to advertise just how open I am that is universally recognizable. Something that implies a CONTRACT of sorts between me and my users. Then you've got something.
