Better, I think, to stake our standard as being simply "OpenStreetMap  
and others" hyperlinked to the attribution page. It's scalable when  
more datasets come along; fits in better with the image of the  
project; and imposes no technical burden on those who reuse the data  
(i.e. they can simply link to www.openstreetmap.org/attribution rather  
than having to dynamically generate a list of imported datasets for  
the bbox).
