I too would like to see SRTM elevational data in OSM - possibly optional in the UI - and preferably using colours rather than just contours. I posted an initial proposal in the wiki some weeks ago. I don't have much data, but I suspect contours add a big data load, but producing coloured bitmaps from SRTM sources is not difficult and these could be used as backgrounds to the rendered OSM data.

Subject: [OSM-talk] contours on main map


is there any intention to include contours on the main map at any
point? would it be possible to have them as a static layer (i.e. they
not be re-rendered every week like the mapnik images, to save
processing time), with a transparent background?

alternatively, are there any world wide maps out there with contours
and osm data, that update regularly?
