I am trying to find a way of obtaining OSM data (read only) for use

pre-rendered map (e.g. display of locations of pubs, shops etc. as
selected by the user).
There seem to be quite a few ways to do this:
The main OSM API (but it is a shame to use that server for a read
only application?).
XAPI (looks promising but I think the servers are ill at the moment
- I like the idea of having an appeal for a new one if necessary!).
TRAPI (this looks like a neat idea, but is not clear to me whether
there are any working servers, or if this is just a concept?).
ROMA (Sounds similar to TRAPI, but again I do not know if there are
any servers)
TileDataServer (I think that TRAPI is an extension of this).
Can anyone advise me on whether there are working servers for 3, 4
and 5 above please?
An other option would be to setup a local version of 1. and use
osmosis with the daily/hourly/minute diffs to keep it up to date after
the first import.

The other thing I was thinking about was setting up a little XAPI
server to play with myself, but I am struggling to work out how to
install it on my computer (I know nothing about GT.M...) Can anyone
point me to some instructions please?
Graham.
