Thor,

But the attributions are not part of the geocoded results, are they?
The copyright notices are shown based on the current bounds of the
map, so if the map is panned to the same lat/lon obtained last year,
Google, (via the API code), are still the ones who decide what
attributions to show for that particular location. Am I wrong?

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but now I'm getting really
confused....

Marcelo.
