I think that the positive feedback is mainly because the new design is 
better than the first attempt, not because everyone thinks "oh great, 
high time that finally someone solves the pressing attribution problem".

Frankly, I've made OSM maps and web sites for five years or so and never 
had a problem with adding the required attribution. My al lmeans let 
people use an attribution mark if they want but I don't really 
understand the problem it solves.

I also disagree with Alex's idea of "Only where the mark can't be used, 
"© OpenStreetMap Contributors" may be used." - I think the attribution 
mark can be made an option if people think it solves a problem, but 
fully naming OpenStreetMap is in my opinion *better* than any mark and 
should not be discouraged in favour of the mark.

Bye
Frederik
