To authors of this proposed attribution guideline.

Why it is contains misleading recommendation that
real attribution may be not present on mobile devices?

Is it something that will be discussed on LWG meeting today?
(this time I should be able to participate via Mumble,
not sure whatever it is something that would be on topic)

I am not sure why hidden attribution is described as being enough
to fulfill ODBL.
