[HOT] HOT/HDM web rendering

[Stéphane Henriod]

Hi Yohan!

this is indeed amazing and exaclty what was needed! So many people have
already complained that they digitize stuff "that doesn't appear on the
map"!

I second David, once the icons and styles will be in reasonnably final
stage, it would be necessary to have a map legend / key. And also maybe to
host it on a server with a shorter / more explicit name (humanitarianmap.org?
or whatever in this direction). And, naturally, if there was a possibility
to serve the whole planet file, it would be even more amazing! :-)

Very well done the CAP103 team!

Stéphane
