Hi,

> I don't see why there isn't an OSM to SVG converter webservice, 

Cool, then start one.

(Or, to be just a little bit more verbose - depending on the input it 
takes a hell of a lot of CPU time to render an area with Osmarender, 
even if yo uhave the CPU all to yourself. If you have multiple users 
accessing the web service, everything will grind to a halt. It can be 
done with the new-found Mapnik SVG output. Tom Hughes is working on an 
"export" tab for our web page that - according to the little bits of 
info he's dropped on these lists about it - might include a 
Mapnik-generated SVG output of a selected area. No idea about the 
planned release schedule though!)

Bye
Frederik
