The "future work" section assumes we'd use the default OSM style. I've been playing around a lot with TileMill over the last few months and IMHO: - it's really not hard to make an alternative style - the default OSM style sort of makes sense as a general purpose navigational map (show every street name, and pretty much anything with a name=*), but doesn't make much sense for Wikipedia (which would mostly be using maps to show a single item in context, rather than navigation) - there's probably not much benefit in replicating the default OSM style (ie, there's no efficiency gained) - the default OSM style is ugly. :) Why not a distinctive Wikipedia style, or 2, or 5?
