[Tilesathome] tiles at home = mission impossible?

True.

False.

The lowzoom process does not create render requests. If it downloads a
tile that isn't there, that's a white spot on the lowzoom tile. At
least that was the case last time I looked, which admittedly is some
time ago...

These are only rendered if explicitly requested, not as part of a
lowzoom process.
