Incidentally, what are the goals for this cool technology? One thought occurs that it could be integrated with other rendering platforms to do on-demand rendering where the "real" tiles aren't yet rendered. But for that to be useful, you'd probably need a server side renderer that produced passably similar tiles... I guess another huge benefit is allowing user customisation. Maybe some site would serve up pre-rendered base tiles, with customised Kothic JC tiles over the top. The question also arises: how does Kothic JS relate to Halcyon? Both are ECMAscript-based, MapCSS-compliant OSM renderers. I suppose Kothic renders to tiles whereas Halcyon renders to native Flex sprites. (Apologies for thinking out loud here...)
