Incidentally would there be scope for a browser-based (AJAX/XSLT) "osmarender 
browser"? i.e. user searches for location by place name or lat/lon, and gets 
an osmarender map of their area. Then, by navigating using the arrow keys 
(slippy-style map would probably be too slow for SVG, at a guess) they can 
move around.

Or would this hit the API too much?
