Richard, I most certainly don't disagree with with you but maybe the picture is a little incomplete ?

Its about rendering unsealed roads differently from the default sealed. Its a safety issue and very important in Australia. No progress. > Also, and this is important, making a new style is really fun. Fun, but as I said, not easy. I have been doing so, trying to demonstrate how to deal with unsealed and 4x4 roads. My time is limited and I've made little progress. I of all people know how hard it is to get developers and sys admins to doc what they have done ! > > ... there is a brand new shiny tile cache server in Brisbane. http://blog.osmfoundation.org/2012/10/04/australia-server/ I believe thats a cache server, not a tile server in its own right. So it caches and delivers what already exists on (eg) osm.org. If it could deliver an Aussie view of Australia, that would be great ! That might also be a good way to trial localized styles. That would be good! > My point is not to discourage you .... No, of course not, like I said, we agree on most. I certainly would not want to send any sort of message that I am unhappy with OSM. Far from it!
