True, Kosmos currently uses XML files, so it's not an option for such a 
large area. Maybe in the future some sort of compact db will be 
supported, but I'm not too keen on making it a server-based thing. We 
have Mapnik and t at h for that.
Just being curious: how much time does it take Mapnik to generate those 
500,000 tiles on your machine?
