The div holding the copyright string now uses the id "copyright". This is
highly likely to conflict with containing pages.

The id should be something which is likely to be unique in containing
pages, say "GCopyright" (or maybe "gCopyright", using g for divs and G for
API objects).

In fact every div named by the API should use a Google-specific name like that.

Add to this: in a page with multiple maps, there will be more than one element with
the same id. And, of course, giving an element an id makes it very easy for it to be
styled out of existence. Perhaps it would be better to remove the id altogether.

Agreed. Thanks for catching this.

Changing status of "Accepted" issues to "Acknowledged", to clarify their 
state.

We may not be able to resolve all bugs or fulfill all feature requests, but 
we do thank you for filing them, and we will continually revisit all 
acknowledged issues and evaluate their feasibility. Thanks!

Status: Acknowledged

There was some confusion with the change from the "Accepted" status to the 
"Acknowledged" status, and some developers took that to mean that their bug 
was being downgraded. This was only a wording change, not a priority 
change. We are still working on fixing many bugs (particularly the 
regression bugs), so a fix for your bug may still be coming in the future.

After a discussion in the forum, we will now use "Confirmed" instead of 
"Acknowledged". This status indicates that we have verified the bug, 
reported it internally, and it is included in the list of bugs that we 
review each week (when determining what to fix next).
