That sort of thing has been suggested before(1) but having configurable 
tile layers on osm.org needs someone to actually write the code to 
support that.  If you just want to create a map style for your 
customers, then of course that isn't a requirement - the tools to do it 
are available and the process to set up an OSM-a-like tile server is 
well documented(2).  There are maintenance aspects that are less well 
documented, but even most of that info's around somewhere.  I switched 
from mostly using the osm.org "standard" style back in the summer when 
it became clear that its priorities weren't mine.

Cheers,
Andy
