Hi everybody:
I saw city names in China and Japan are not little squares anymore.
Nice job.
But some name tags are still little squares, like
http://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/18/218682/114077.png and
http://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/14/14537/6464.png.
Is it font problem?
Cheers.

Hi,
in tagwatch, e.g. at
http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Europe/En/tags.html
I see entries that link to adresses like
http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.5/*%5Bvalue=LIDL%5D
That page takes quite a while to load but then returns with an empty
document. Is that a timeout in the api or so?
