Could we download 1 level 12 tile from the api, then render it as usual
to an svg, then post-process the SVG into 4 level 13 tiles if it's over
a certain size before passing it to Inkscape? The post-processor would
be able to include all the road names etc. that might overlap the edges,
but leave out all the other elements.
