Hans,
  That suggestion comes up because, although Public Domain is quite clear in 
the USA, it doesn't exist as a legal concept in many parts of the world.
By using CC0 the work is clearly licensed, but the conditions match (as closely 
as possible) the conditions of Public Domain for each jurisdiction to which CC0 
is ported.
If you're not planning to fight any court battles, a clear Public Domain grant 
is just fine for content created in the USA.
