Right now, in Roland's version, it isn't even clear that one should click on the map to get information.
In one of the EWG meetings "POI display" was split into two separate tasks: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks#Clickable_POIs_on_the_frontpage http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks#POI_inspection_tool_on_the_frontpage I think this separation makes sense and I assume that Roland's solution is for the POI inspection tool task since, as you mentioned, the POI's themselves are not really clickable as on Google Maps for example. For that the Mapnik grid renderer approach looks interesting. For the POI/data inspection tool I think we would need vector tiles approach instead of a regular "fire SQL for given coordinates" approach but of course this does not mean that Roland's solution does not apply - if it can be scaled for production and nicely integrated into the Rails Port then why not? It is certainly better than current situation where we have nothing clickable and no inspection tool...
