My only issue with this is that it places OSM behind Google, because
when you go to their website you get an "official" way of placing the
map on your site and if your requirements are basic it's free and the
server won't go down for two days in a year.  You don't have to buy a
commercial solution if you know basic html, but you're still offered
the same reliability.  Later we wonder why Software Freedom Day uses
google maps instead of openstreetmaps.

(That said, had anyone emailed them yet?  I'll do it if not)

Cheers
