The idea of mergeable, stand-alone data tiles is promising and I believe
that these could prove very useful e.g. in the context of client-side
rendering.

As you admit in your report, certain features would improve the
usefulness of the software. In particular, having access to ways that
include or traverse a tile without nodes within that tile, and relation
support would appear relevant for being able to correctly render that
tile. I also guess that many use cases would benefit from tiles based on
the familiar Mercator tile scheme.

Do you plan to continue the development of OSMT beyond the
proof-of-concept status?
