From my point of view this would increase the user | acceptance a lot, because of the complicated installation process of the | current client. | | Furthermore we could integrate this client into JOSM. Users, who edited | an area, could be asked to render the tile automatically after the | upload of the changed osm data. If we butter up the JOSM users like | "Please be kind and render your changed region, so that your changes are | visible immediately", it could boost the tah user base. | | Actually I have done some testing with java, too, and ended up with some | lines of code, which download data and create the maplint svg file with | the help of XSLT. I will have a look at your code...
While I like the idea of something that is easier to install I see problems with flexibility should some server or other issue require quick response times. (I.e to avoid DDoS Attacks by clients going wild) so far it has worked great that all people concerned with the server had also knowledge about the inner workings of the client.
