It doesn't have to render all languages for all tiles. There could be a set of 
languages defined for each tile (only those that are relevant), so we'd have a 
default caption layer showing "name", for Wales one layer each for "name", 
"name:en" and "name:cy", and for some tiles with name of important cities 
additional languages (e.g. Roma/Rome/Rom/Rzym etc.).

This would also make it more easy to hand out language layers only to clients 
that support the required fonts.
