I wonder if we could switch tiles at home tile generation to use a 100%  
transparent background and maybe an  alpha component with  
natural=forest areas. If we choose the right values, the images will  
not look any different than they do today, but there would be the  
option of "underlaying" something like a contour layer. It would  
still not be 100% pretty because roads etc. might then overlap the  
numbers on  the contour layer, but could be a start...

Bye
Frederik
