Is anybody sure that the OS's attribution requirements are adequately 
addressed by current practice, and when moving to ODbL later?

Under ODbL it will be possible to use non-substantial amounts of data 
from OSM without any attribution (this is not disputed), and furthermore 
(this is disputed and the following is only the opinion of myself plus 
at least one member of the licensing working group) it will be possible 
to create a produced work from OSM data and license that under a license 
that does not require attribution, so attribution can become lost "down 
the line".

Before anyone starts massively using OS data for anything else than a 
comparison, I strongly suggest to get a very clear view of this, either 
by having the OS say "yes ok" or at least getting a statement from our 
own licensing working group.

Because doing large-scale tracing and later having to remove it all sucks.

Bye
Frederik
