Richard, thanks for mentioning Kosmos :) Yes, Kosmos draws OSM data on-the-fly and it supports continuous zoom levels (I've limited it up to zoom level 18 because of some .NET drawing engine problems on higher zooms). There are two drawbacks however: it runs on Windows only and the latest released version is getting old. But I'm working (hard?) on the v3 version which I hope will be easier to use and more powerful. And if I get the time, I'll try to make it Linux (and Mac)-friendly.
