Hi All

Using two new excerpting tools (see my dev@ post for details), I've been 
able to turn a planet.osm file into something for just the UK, only 
containing the cities, railways and motorways.

The result is
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:UK-Motorways-Railways-061023.png

It looks like there are several places missing tagging, if anyone wants to 
fill in a few blanks.


On a related note - does anyone know of a simple UK coastline .osm file? I 
tried using the natural=coastline data from planet.osm, but it was too 
detailed for both xsltproc and xalan, which broke after using >2gb memory 
to try to render it all....

Nick
