Absolutely - do something different. But make the most of the freedom  
- do it elsewhere. Set up your own map site using OSM tiles/data. Put  
co-ordinates on it. Put some tools for measuring distances. Go the  
whole hog. Make it a "map site for experts".

OSM is about encouraging an ecosystem, not just cramming everything  
onto openstreetmap.org.
