Strange for the French because the whole map of openstreetmap.fr <http://openstreetmap.fr> is osm.org itself. The map of openstreetmap.de <http://openstreetmap.de> fetches its mapnik tiles from openstreetmap.org, its transport tiles from memomaps.de, its cycle tiles from opencyclemap.org and OSM deutscher Stil is from openstreetmap.de. openstreetmap.de does not provide the tools of osm.org. In particular, one must use the osm.org tool to make a link to the map and hence there's very little chance that Mr Everybody's link used the openstreetmap.de server. I have tried to see if, the subject of this thread, OSM deutscher Stil would render features that osm.org does not, but, alas, openstreetmap.de does not support the openstreetmap.de/way/... nor #map= URL syntaxes, and it doesn't show the tags of the objects in the left pane. So, it's very difficult to use it for that comparison. In fact, I wonder if it's not the reason why I seem to be not well understood when I speak of things like displaying boundary data in the left pane. But I don't think it displays more features than osm.org.
Cheers André.
