With the proviso that the (c) symbol is removed, or perhaps replaced with a CC 
image, I quite like it for this reason. It gives a very simple indication 
that OSM is created by a community rather than mysterious robots :)

While I'm on the subject, some requests:

- add landuse=recreation_ground and allotments (regression?)

- revert the pub icon, it took me a while to realise what it was

- the one-way symbols are almost invisible

- automatically render labels on pitches, recreation grounds, pavillions, etc. 
where no name exists to explain what those funny green shades are all about

- post-processing to remove duplicate names would be great, I'm reluctant to 
remove nodes for names of areas until Mapnik does it right:

Great job with v5!

Kind regards,
Tom
