The idea behind it is to have a single stylesheet that can be used in JOSM, Potlatch, Mapnik, Kothic and a bunch of other renderers. There are a lot of improvements that can be done to it: - reformat all "hacks" to some real mapcss structures, i.e. invent a nice syntax for dem coloring, hillshading parameters, layering model. - add at east some support for cascading for non-cascaded renderers like mapnik (i.e. allow structures like: way{color: black; font-face: Arial} way[highway]{casing-width:1; color: red} way[highway=primary]{width:3; text:name} ) - add more rendering backends, from popular demand - maperitive, geoserver; probably also some mobile apps like osmand / gpsmid; - some more crazy ideas? integrate it with some renderer (kothic js? maperitive?) and make a "easy map generator" software, with simple buttons "edit stylesheet", "publish for web", "make tiles", "make pdf for printing", "make svg for further editing".
