If you can't traverse a right of way then it shouldn't have a highway

Okay perhaps I could have been clearer but I wasn't suggesting omitting

Thanks Graham and Malcolm,
Certainly I can see for the first time where the gaps are in the
waterway coverage and it encourages me to explore mapnik and see how
everything works.

In addition to the above, ITO will shortly be releasing a number of
additional views of the data together with a way of simply defining
additional views. The rending will be reasonably basic compared to Mapnik,
however the scripting will also be simple. We are going to start with some

It can certainly be done if you're prepared to put the effort in. Bear in
mind that OSM isn't really an end user map

Henry,
I think you are describing what my examples do - for example the map at
http://maps.webhop.net/topo uses a simple base map and the OpenLayers
javascript program running in the web browser draws the selectable overlays
on top of it - the overlays are PNG images with a transparent background.
Hi Folks,
Using transparent overlays is easy - you do not need to do any real time
processing - just get an image from a server and dispaly it. Going for
something cleverer like vector rendering needs a database to give you the
correct data, then the javascript in the web browser needs to

I think that a static (periodically refreshed) 'binary tile'
architecture where the OSM DB is boiled down into tiles designed for
the single purpose of being rendered quickly is the way to go.
Ideally a map viewer can then call upon both the standard bitmap tiles
and the vector tiles and combine
