[OSM-dev] Slippy Map, automatic Tile Rendering

It has, starting at v5, but database triggers are the last resort of 
those who do not have a well-defined way for data to enter the database. 
We do have such a well defined way; anything that should happen whenever 
data is updated or changed should really be built into the API and not 
into the database, for the reasons cited by Jochen - keeping the 
database as lean as possible to ensure maximum performance.

Bye
Frederik
