Street name annotation is a higher priority in the applet right now,  but 
I'd certainly like it to look the same as the static renderer.  Rendering 
arbitrary images from any mapserver should really be possible, starting with 
landsat :)

Just wait for me to start grumbling about applet sandboxes...

If anyone has any particular ideas/requirements for how to store and display 
street metadata, please let us know, we're working on that at the moment.

OSM: treading the fine line between reinventing the wheel and the simplest 
possible thing that works.
