That's exactly why Apple make betamax video players, because it's all  
just about the content.

But to answer your other points, OSM used to have a WMS server I  
wrote and then NickW extended, it's just not as important as serving  
tiles. And I don't think you can compare XML with WMS.... but it's  
interesting how many people would prefer the OSM API not to be XML as  
you suggest because of the overhead.

have fun,
