Taking this up, I wonder about something like the HOT style legend
http://hotosm.github.io/HDM-CartoCSS/

I'm not sure what's powering it or if it's just manually generated, but it's
a lot more usable than the current osm.org standard legend.

It very good for finding what a feature looks like on the map - not so sure
for finding out what a feature you see on the map is. E.g. are these dashed
blue lines a marina, cycleway, or any of the other things dashed blue lines
are used for.
