While that's a good idea (the test URL I use for such things is 
http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/ btw) it's perhaps worth mentioning 
that I'm not aware of anything rendering "standard" map tiles from the 
data in there.  I'm also not aware of anyone making planet files or 
extracts from there either*.

However, for a very small area (but still big enough to show the sort of 
effects you're looking for) I suspect you'd be OK doing an API MAP call 
to get the data and throwing that into a rendering database which you 
can access in the usual "rendering server" way, or by something like 
tilemill.

I had been thinking about writing some notes about how to do this for a 
while, just haven't got the necessary "round tuit" yet :)

Cheers,

Andy
