[OSM-talk] Isn't it time for a higher zoom level?

Hi there,

looking at the map renders of Rio de Janeiro's downtown, it looks very
cluttered, specially with Osmarender. I believe this should happen in many
other places. We should not be tagging for the renderer, rather the opposite
- fix bugs on the renderer to make it look exactly like you want. So, I was
wondering: Isn't it time for a higher zoom level?

I understand that that could throw more load on the servers, but maybe we
could have an option to render at highlevels only certain areas, such as
above a certain point density, or something like that. What do you think
about it?

Probably this should be targeted for a more specific list like mapnik-, but
I'd like to hear (er, read) what do you think about this matter.

Cheers,
