As part of an experiment with WebGL (3D in browser rendering of OSM data)
I'm planning on doing, I've developed a quick read-only OSM API and data
format optimised for rendering. The rationale was, that if the front end
is doing only rendering of OSM data (no editing), the standard OSM XML
A better data format for
rendering would contain only point of interest nodes, with ways
represented as polylines of points, with no need for the client to look up
the coordinates of the way's constituent nodes by ID.
What you're talking for is a xml/json frontend for a postgis-db. The

Looks interesting but only for high zoom-levels.
What queries can be supported to e.g. render a map of the world?
That would at least require all coastlines but not in full resolution.
This is only true for the coastlines, as mapnik is doing the same
(coastlines from shapefile, everything
This is directly possible within DBSlayer.

we have in the database.
It does render the OSM coastlines. It's just that the coastline data goes
through a different preprocessor.
