I don't see why there isn't an OSM to SVG converter webservice, it's
what osmarender does.. To get a nice looking map in the zoom level you
want you will need to do some more reading than this:

On MacOSX you should be able to do this in the terminal:

## Download osmarender
curl -O http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/osmarender6/osmarender.xsl
curl -O http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/osmarender6/osm-map-features-z17.xml

## Download OSM data
curl http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/map?bbox=17.99,59.3,18.0,59.31
>sthm-map.osm
ln -s sthm-map.osm data.osm

## Render to SVG
xsltproc --path . --path ./symbols osm-map-features-z17.xml > map.svg

That gives you a SVG of an area where a lot of the swedish OSM:ers have lived.
