While I agree that one should not over-engineer and try to be prepared for everything, if ONE thing is sure then that is a steadily (or explosively?) rising user base who will demand some kind of database access. It is just prudent to think about how we'll handle 10 times the load that we have today, instead of waiting until we have that load and then start complaining. > Suggestions would be WMS, WFS, i18n, custom layer support, or some sort of > support where the OSM DB can be integrated well with a GIS.

Anything that does not require a writable database can be run by third parties without even talking to our central API, so you're welcome to implement any of these.
