Hey Deelkar, before you invest too much energy in fixing that lowzoom script, I would like to push ptoper lowzoom tile generation a little forward.

Etienne provides the Zappy API which can quickly give us a subset of features for large areas, so it is reasonable to directly render lowzoom tiles and not having to stitch them together. The only thing missing, according to OJW, is a script that translates lat/long into mercator projection (did I get that right, ojw?), so we don't run into projection issues.

You know the client better than anybody else, so would it be feasable to:
1) Get data from a different server/API URL either for z0-11 (or a different layer if that makes things easier).
2) Run a script to transform to mercator projection
3) Render that data with a lozoom stylesheet
4) Upload as usual

What would be the best strategy to achieve that with the t at h clients? Let me know what you think.
