Sounds reasonable.
The ideal formula would probably not depend on the actual earth surface
covered but on the actual amount of OSM data. As long as entire
contintents contain less data than Central London, let people download
entire contintents ;-)
But that would require a special index to be kept which would slow down
inserts - and the whole idea was to make the system faster not slower.
Bye
Frederik
