I very much like the island labels - this would be great to have in the 
standard map (at the moment i think islands are not labeled there until 
z=12 which is kind of pointless for any but the smallest islands - 
especially in polar regions).

And of course it well points out missing names (and in this case missing 
french names).

I guess the lack of labels in the north of

is due to incomplete rendering.  The style also produces some funny 
stuff like:
