I think that's true. With one pixel being 4cm on z22, this means that 
already on z22 you have the issue that there will be some pixel 
positions where OSM doesn't let you place a node because of lack of 
precision and rounding errors. Not a big deal but at some point zooming 
in further will just give weird results ;-)

No, you would have to use a little more logic than that because you want 
to replace each x and y value by int(n/8)*8 so that you only have one 
line per meta tile.
