>Looks interesting but only for high zoom-levels. That's the use-case I'm looking at: renderers at zoom levels of around 13, 14, 15 etc which can download and cache data from a server in around 0.1 x 0.1 lat/lon squares. I'm not intending to cater for more zoomed-out levels just yet (I'll only do this as and when I need to) but if anyone wants to work on the code, feel free to do so.
