Hi,

> No responses to this? Good/bad idea?

Personally, I am a bit tired of all sorts of "upload funny tile to 
achieve desired behaviour in the server" workarounds. There could also 
be an API to delete tiles, and it wouldn't even be much more code than 
the handling of special tile uploads, IMHO.

Plus, I was unsure about your

>> 2. When a client renders a blank area it ends up uploading blank tiles
>> for zoom-12 to 17 

- I always assumed these were optimized in the client, and only the 
empty z12 tile was uploaded in these cases. I know it can be switched 
off by setting the render-full-tileset option and I don't know if that 
has been switched on in the course of upload-only-full-tilesets, and 
generally have lost track about where we stand, and am not willing to 
participate in experiments as long as I either get no response from dev 
or run the risk of ruining performance for others... so that's why you 
got no response from me ;-)

Bye
Frederik
