What I'm impressed by is that they use the well known OSM tools like
Mapnik, TileCache, Nominatim for creating the site. See
http://devblog.mapquest.com/2010/07/09/mapquest-opens-up-uk/

And even more that their project already had influence on these tools
since they sponsored enhancements in Mapnik and Nominatim we can make
use of too.

If we'll also profit from user contributions on their site,
open.mapquest is the best thing to happen since API 0.6. ;-)
