That would definitely be the best solution.  MUCH more visual.

Okay, I realize this is a bit of a diversion; but how are you pulling
daily planet files onto your server?  I have tried to do a similar thing to
get the planet.osm file onto my own server so I can extra MB maps
regularly.  However, it seems I can NEVER get a good planet.osm download;
they're always corrupts.  Or did you start with JUST a download of Ontario
(using the XAPI API) and are just applying the planet diffs to that?

Thanks,
Tyler
