Now a lot of places are full of pro-mappers, we are doing house numbers,
shops, football pitch lines...
Do we need an extra zoom level?

For example I'm learning to add buildings/shops and see

You can only see about a third of the shop/business names because of
avoiding overlapping text. Potentially businesses might start deleting shop
names around them to ensure their shop is displayed, or thinking up other
'tagging/mapping for the renderer'.

The increased load(viewing tiles and creating tiles) is a point, how much of
a point?
