Right now we can easily switch between osma (XSLT)/orp and inkscape/batik because the output of these alternatives is identical. If there is an optional plugin that creates output that looks identical to the rest, then I am more than happy with it, however if it changes the output in signifcant ways, it's much more difficult. Imagine 2 neghboring z12 tiles with an overlapping caption. If they use different algorithms to place their labels the result looks.. interesting (this is a problem with the current lowzoom captions already). I have no strong feelings about these issues, though, and refer to deelkar as client lead developers to make calls like this. _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tilesathome
