[OSM-talk] prettymaps (based in part on OSM data)

An interesting variant on rendering maps:

prettymaps is an experimental map from Stamen Design. It is an interactive
map composed of multiple freely available, community-generated data
sources:

    * All the Flickr shapefiles rendered as a semi-transparent white
ground on top of which all the other layers are displayed.
    * Urban areas from Natural Earth both as a standalone layer and
combined with Flickr shapefiles for cities and neighbourhoods.
    * Road, highway and path data collected by the OpenStreetMap (OSM)
project.

In all there are four different raster layers and six data layers (that
mean all the map data is sent in its raw form and rendered as visual
elements by the browser) that may be visible depending on the bounding box
and zoom level of the map.
