I was thinking about this recently, and wondered if there might, at any point in the future, be plans to include another level of zoom. I guess that has huge implications on data storage, but it seems that it would be useful. Or would it be possible to build your own renderer to do this? I created the Boracay data in JOSM, which can zoom in pretty much as far as you like, and of course it looked fine in there. But I see Ahmed's point about it looking too cluttered when its displayed on the map as rendered by OSM.
