Yes, there is "THE" ("main") map at OSM.org</blockquote>

That is just because you are not German or French, otherwise
you might refer to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://openstreetmap.de">openstreetmap.de</a> or <a
href="http://openstreetmap.fr">openstreetmap.fr</a>. IMHO
those sites represent OSM much better. They actually show that
there are alternatives to the map you see on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://osm.org">osm.org</a> or
on their sites.</div>

I wasn't speaking of "how", the style in which, the map is drawn,
but what tags are mapped, that is the reason why they are tagging
for the renderer, using tweaked tags.<br>
Strange for the French because the whole map of <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://openstreetmap.fr">openstreetmap.fr</a>
is osm.org itself.<br>
The map of <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://openstreetmap.de">openstreetmap.de</a>
fetches its mapnik tiles from openstreetmap.org, its transport tiles
from memomaps.de, its cycle tiles from opencyclemap.org and OSM
deutscher Stil is from openstreetmap.de.<br>
openstreetmap.de does not provide the tools of osm.org. In
particular, one must use the osm.org tool to make a link to the map
and hence there's very little chance that Mr Everybody's link used
the openstreetmap.de server.<br>
I have tried to see if, the subject of this thread, OSM deutscher
Stil would render features that osm.org does not, but, alas,
openstreetmap.de does not support the openstreetmap.de/way/... nor
#map= URL syntaxes, and it doesn't show the tags of the objects in
the left pane. So, it's very difficult to use it for that
comparison. In fact, I wonder if it's not the reason why I seem to
be not well understood when I speak of things like displaying
boundary data in the left pane. But I don't think it displays more
features than osm.org.<br>
