The data we put into Mapnik allows for full vectorizing of the map, though Mapnik actually produces a raster map. With a vectorized map each user could enable and disable the layers as desired, i.e. could have the map render a different shade on lit highways, remove the name of supermarkets, etc. That would b of benefit as enabling ALL tags to be rendered will overcrowd the map, and we are to many to really agree on which to enable and which to disable.
