I have no problem avoiding the moral rights quagmire. I think simplicity is one of the reasons to move to PD in the first place.
I don't think it would be a problem to use the wikipedia public domain license now, and then consider a future move to something like the CC Zero. I would strongly recommend we do one thing that OSM hasn't done. That is require a tag for each feature that indicates the license the feature was released under. I know it's all PD, but this would allow us to "sort" and catagorize the data in the event of future legal interpretations or developments. I'd rather have a simple license tag then get to a point down the road where a large portion of the data has a cloud over its use because of some legal decision.
