I don't think this is a problem we shuold be trying to solve. We should be solving the problem of the tile server only producing 1 rendering. When I look at the USA, I want interstates to be blue. When an American looks at the UK, they want to see motorways to be a colour other than blue, because then they will understand instinctively what kind of road it is. This should be one of the major benefits of OSM over other maps. When someone from a USA IP address opens the map, they should see the USA style tiles by default, but have the UK tiles on the layer switcher.
