[OSM-talk] Osmabrowser v0.0.1 -- an interactive Osmarender browser

[Dan Putler]

Nick,

Very nice. It works on OS X under Firefox 1.5. Things don't go well  
with Safari, however, since Apple has yet to release a version of  
Safari with SVG support. Although, many expect the next major release  
to have it.
