Yes - the work on the new renderer is invaluable - it's fantastic.

But I don't think it's the same as getting good SVG output (or PS, or
PDF, or something). We need a simple way to export things - you can't
save the current view from the tiles interface, and heaven knows what
it looks like if you print it.

Certainly not here as a nay-sayer,
