Having said this, I am quite comfortable with a "Render center tileset" link 
(or button) on that page. I do know that it's still quite bare. In addition to 
that page, I plan to incorporate a "Render this tileset button" when viewing 
the tile details page. I just haven't gotten around to include it.

That would work, but I'd actually prefer a HTTP POST form being send. That GET 
string is a mere convenience function for informationfreeway.org :-)


I'll make the "render this tile" on the tile detail page first and then add it 
to the static map.
