It's not that hard, honest. I think Steve's done it for something in
the past. You just need a bit of basic trig - you omit points until
the line diverges (say) 2 degrees from the way you're heading, then
you change course and start again.
(The way Illustrator manages to convert straight line paths into
simpler beziers, however, is something I'd class as magic but
fortunately not something OSM has to worry about.)
cheers
