This is interesting. I have been making some coastline edits and waiting for them to show up in the main Mapnik map layer on OSM.
I have seen edits that I make to highways show up in the Mapnik layer, so I assumed that my coastline edits should be showing up soon. I guess the incorrect assumption was that when a new tile is rendered, the latest data for all data layers was used. This will help manage my expectations a little bit... David.
