I'm currently talking to my boss about open-sourcing the 
background-style used at

http://karriere.thyssenkrupp.com/jobmap/

It has been designed to be used as background-layer for overlays in the 
range between z0 and z14 with only very basic information.

It could be used to replace mapnik-bw, which suffers in some points like 
contrast in favour of details.
