Hi Tim, Thanks for your question. I believe this was already the aim the the rule based renderer which was created some time ago. I have worked with it to try and mimic what mapnik and osmarender are doing with openstreetmap data. As a matter of fact, OSM data is so rich that you can do very different maps for very different types of users; in addition, I cannot think of a richer public dataset, so it is a got dataset to make tests and experiments. Working with data with national datasets (currently Italy.osm planet extract) I came up with a few ideas to improve the current renderer; this would in effect allow every one to have his/her *own* ideal map, easily. I believe this really shows the power of freedom that free software and free data can bring. Thanks again for your comments. Merry christmas! Regards, Mayeul
