Thanks for all the info. It seems Cascadenik has been superseded by Carto, at least that's my impression, as Cascadenik hasn't been touched since last year, and Carto is inspired by Cascadenik but has seen more recent and active development. It would be interesting to see a comparison between Carto and MapCSS. However I'm not sure if OSMF would even be interested in changing the main stylesheet over to one of these. -Josh
