Quite. Can someone please come up with names for the two "main" styles
that aren't just the technology that creates them?
s/osmarender/Tiles at Home/ would be a start (osmarender is 'just' the
technology currently used in generating the t at h map), and as you say,
the other three are all generated using mapnik (maybe postgis/mapnik
for the gnu/linux tards amongst us?) so having "mapnik" is a bit
weird, and I'm sure causes half the problems on the mapnik MLs where
people are actually talking about the main OSM rendering and not the
mapnik library itself.
Suggestions on a postcard?
Cheers,
Andy
