I have no idea how you'd apply P2P to map style design. It sounds like
you; ve heard of a great technology, and want to apply it to every

I even used it once on OSM - it was called Tiles@home.
Tiles@home was not a P2P map style, it was kept in SVN and used a
distributed rendering system. Distributed rendering is still used,
primarily by larger scale operations. Craigslist distributes their
pre-rendering workload among a large number of machines, and I believe
MapBox did the same when they were pre-rendering.
I am not certain of the details after this long, but I don't think the
Tiles@home rendering was P2P either - simply distributed.
