Since the application in question is just anoter type of map browser I think it falls in the category of previewing the OSM database state and can be used by mappers like slippymap. In fact I can image a webgl globe as an option on osm.org homepage, I'd love to see it. I can try preparing a mockup of osm.org with that option if there's interest.
