It's nice seeing improvements in the map legends :-)

Hiding the "currently not available" features from the legend has a 
drawback: You don't know which features are generally available at this 
specific map zoomlevel, and which are just not existing in the currently 
shown bbox.

I agree that it would be nice to distinguish it though. Maybe specially 
marking it with a different background color or such might be an idea.


Anyway, to all involved: Keep up the good key/legend work, another 
example where OSM makes a difference :-)))
