Just a quick update on the legend part: I've found some time to work on 
a prototype.
Here is the demo: http://hotosm.github.io/HDM-CartoCSS/
It's a Leaflet plugin that takes a descriptive JSON as input, and then 
displays pieces of the map (like this we are sure it's always up to date).
For now the JSON has to be written by hand, I'm thinking about a way to 
make this more dynamic but this is next step ;)
Here is a preview of the JSON:

By the way, the worldwide service is on its way. Actually, is set up and 
working, but without the DEM. We are waiting for a new SSD server to 
process this, which will likely be before next month.
But here you have some more countries (where I have added the DEM):
- Madagascar: http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hot-style-madagascar_800
- Togo: http://umap.fluv.io/en/map/hot-style-togo_799
- Indonesia (without DEM):

- Burkina Faso:

Thanks for your feedback,
