Hello, first, thank you all for your hints.

For my national dutch data derived from official > government bodies; my rule is "store it in EPSG:28992 (the official > dutch projection) because that is the coordinate-system they survey in. I think this is the next thing i'll try. I just downloaded the latest version of planet_osm and i'll install in WGS84 (if that does not break any other programs / scripts). I mainly use mapnik. It also looks natural to me to install in WGS84 and if that also solves some problems, that's great.
