While a map without borders is quite a powerful philosophical
statement, is it really part of Openstreetmap's core role ? As
Christian said, let users answer their political and artistic urges
through using the Openstreetmap data - let a thousand renders bloom
! A new map style as a core service would be yet another nitpicking
topic, mired in mailing list discussions... Openstreetmap's strength
is that only the data requires consensus - each user has the freedom
to produce his ideal rendering of the data without having to ask
anyone's permission... Let them take advantage of it !<br>
