I have spent a good number of hours over the past week sorting out layering in East Anglia and in London/Essex/Herts to the north of the Thames. A combination of no clear guidelines, confusion over how to tag islands and clearings in woods etc, warnings from JOSM? as well as no visibility of the tagging itself led to a profusion of errors. In some parts of the country and across Europe it seems to have become established practice to tag all rivers and streams as layer=-1. As such some I hope some serious rationalisation will take place. Regarding hospitals, doctors etc, ye that would be good. We currently offer 22 different overlays and I can see this easily getting to 100 or more - heath being one, sport being another etc etc. Each additional layer places an addition burden on the servers. I suggest we leave it at about 22 for the next 2-4 weeks while we sort out any snags and optimise the caching etc and then look to increase the number of views. Our priority at present is to move to global coverage of the existing layers. Thanks for the feedback and ancouragement.
