I'm not sure delegating to all sort of different servers is the best way 
to implement such a thing for lots of reasons. We just need the master 
stylesheet to be able to take location into account when rendering.

Aside from anything else if you did it by delegation the style could 
only change on the edge of a tile.

Then again, I'm not sure it works to be changing styles at a land border 
anyway - it will look very odd if motorways suddenly change colour 
because you've reached a border.
