[OSM-talk] Slippy map with Bing background

Is there a browser-viewable OSM-with-Bing-imagery-mashup somewhere that can
be used as citable source for Wikipedia? I'm suggesting OSM as a potential
source for accurate coordinates in WP articles, but realize that
positioning is not necessarily reliable unless specifically tagged or
easily compared against license-compatible imagery.
I'm assuming:
a) Getting coords from OSM and using them in WP (with cite) is allowed (is
there a standard cite format?)
b) Looking at the Bing imagery to confirm OSM positioning is allowed, so
looking at the two together is allowed to get coords even if the user
doesn't choose to edit OSM to reflect them.
Note: I checked http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Online_Browsing
before writing this - none of the ones with worldwide coverage have the
Bing sat imagery. I realize that Potlatch and JOSM can do this - I'm
looking for a browser-only, no-login/no-edit solution.
