Im at work (job) right now.
Can we make an OpenOffice draw template & add in a map key?
-showing what the mapnik icons show/represent.
Also,
Showing numbers as (tranparent jpg's) so they can be moved around on
the page and cross-referenced in a space on the 2nd page of the
maposmatic sheet.

If you dont understand, thats OK, i'll make it myself.
(after im done with the transparent contour map & mapsource installer)
