Is that the standard we adhere to? "Do it like everyone else does?" I 
think OSM would not be here if we did.
I don't know what other open source map frameworks are out there, this 
is the first I hear about leaflet (no, I am not in developing for OSM), 
but I have always disliked google maps' interface. They lack(ed) so many 
features OSM had, and now OSM is stepping down to their level by 
removing features and adhering to their standards.

What is wrong with having more and better features? What is the added 
value of removing features?

Maarten
