Indeed.  We don't include true elevation data in OpenStreetMap, though
others have shown how to make nice topos.

I think this topic has wandered a bit beyond the purpose of the
newbies list.  As far as I know, nobody is currently using the OSM
stack for an OpenMoonMap, etc.  Certainly nobody on this list has
spoken up about it.

I am impressed by the interest in OpenMoonMap shown on this list.  May
I suggest that those interested in proceeding with this project move
the discussion to the talk list?  With the broader audience there you
may find some additional interested parties.
