A POI types layer would be pretty nice to have. Maybe 3 or 4 basic categories like food/drink, government, shops, etc. Of course this would mean 3 or 4 times the tiles to store unless some trickery could be employed to let the browser render the icons in the proper places on the map.

The extant http://www.lenz-online.de/cgi-bin/osm/osmpoinit.pl/ site is very good, and needs either borrowing or adopting! It is definitely a good addition, but I can't remember the URL if I'm out & about...
