I'm very sorry, its something I failed to mention in my original email.
A few of us have looked at the OpenMap notion of 'scale'. As I showed in
my original email, its this random quantity based on pixels per meter
from a Sun Microsystems monitor from 10 years ago. If someone figures
out a relation between that and something sensible we can convert the
links.

Sorry again.

Another thing I forgot is that I've drunk the mod_rewrite kool aid and
am putting things in URLs that (hopefully) will not change from now one,
whatever happens. For example the new static renderer is located at
/map/map.png.

have fun,
