Of course if the z12 tile is indigestible even at z12 then splitting  
is not an option... but then again if we can cope with Central  
London, what is going to stop us?

We could improve the tiles at home queuing mechanism so that, when  
requesting jobs, a renderer can announce whether it is able to handle  
complex tiles, and tiles at home could hand out complex tiles  
exclusively to those. Where would t at h know whether a tile is complex?  
I always wanted to have some sort of staticstics service where t at h  
clients would report an object count and other information; something  
like that could be used to hint at tile complexity.

I was hoping we would move the other way round - spaetz has started  
rendering z11 and z10 tiles in full using OSMXapi, considerably  
improving the presentation of those...
