[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Allowed to contribute at Zoom Level 24, but enjoy the results at only 19 (#1672)

[Dan Jacobson]

@SomeoneElseOSM  I am very happy mobile editing works for you from your mobile
devices. I prefer to enter my shopping center mapping from the comfort
of desktop.

You see each retailer in the shopping center has an "stall" address (number)
which would be great to have on OSM. Alas I will suspend my project for
now.

I suspect it all boils down to "OSM's goals in life."

Zoom levels of many years ago might no longer "be competitive".

Indeed, a fine level of detail is where OSM could "beat the
competition."

With the Suggestions at the bottom of
http://www.wolfpil.de/v3/deep-zoom.html we see that perhaps maybe a more
dynamic system could be used: different maximum zoom levels for
different areas. (I'm not sure of how this would work out with WMTS
`<ZoomLevel>int_value</ZoomLevel>`, etc.)
