That assumes that zoom level has any meaning to the tool being used to 
access the map.

For slippy maps, it depends on the  particular slippy map and will 
change from time to time, depending on the target audience and 
judgements about the level of clutter in the rendered image.

The only real way of finding out is to look at the code used.  As far as 
I can remember, for Mapnik, as used in the default slippy map on 
www.openstreetmap.org, it is quite easy to see the rules for when things 
get rendered.

The target audience for default slippy map is mappers, not the the 
general public.
