No, don’t drop OSM-Carto; it’s done a good job for us.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif">
What is a problem though is the idea that any one style can be “standard” when they always have to make compromises between conflicting needs.<o:p>

</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif">
The most obvious solution is to raise the profile of alternative renderers and to encourage more of them.<o:p>

</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif">
So it would be a good idea to draw users’ attention to the layer button and offer more choices. Perhaps we could even stop having a single default style for first time use.<o:p> </o:p></p>
