ok, forget my comment for developers who have a local environment anyway... but I'm only thinking about the 99% of the OSM contributors who will never install a renderer but would like to see the best practices described in the wiki (when they are) in action. And the database is already polluted by junk, exactly because of lake of guidelines. With a separate environment, the problem is the maintenance. Here we are sure that it would use the latest renderers as they are used by osm. When I say 'island', it could be in the middle of a desert as well and tagued as 'test area' or whatever
