As for "being visible directly on osm.org", I guess we can reiterate the
idea that we use the "showcase" style for non-logged in visitors, and the
"debugging" style for logged-in users.

I also agree that it's probably best that the debugging style is simply an
additional "layer" of style code (XML, Carto, whatever else) on top of the
showcase style.
