Does anyone have a URL for a WMS layer that displays Canvec roadnames for 
the smaller roads?  Everytime I've looked at the canvec WMS layers I've 
never seen names of non-highways show up.

If someone were to import a 100% pure canvec data an empty openstreetmap 
instance and render this as a background WMS layer would this then make 
editing/importing canvec data in Potlach easier?  I think tracing a more 
verbose version of canvec might be less error prone for many people than 
importing direct from the .OSM files.

Is there anyone on list with a server/bandwith to do this?
