Well, Freemap displays contour lines. Originally they were generated on the
fly with PHP, but this was a little slow where there are a lot of contours
on the map. Now I pre-generate contour tiles from the NASA data and display
the appropriate one depending on the current location. The contour code
used in the pre-generation program is the same as that used in osm-editor
(C++ based). If contours were to be added to the OpenStreetMap interface,
that would probably be the way to go.
