The problem with adding the "plus leftover standard copyright law stuff" as part of the covered work, is that those things that are part of the covered work are not covered under standard copyright law. For instance, you are allowed to get away with some things in copyright law (mentioning other people's trademarks, or quoting short passages under fair use rules) that you aren't allowed to do within a covered work under the OGL.
