Raw data would be good too, but it'd be better for the majority of
users to have something they can easily snag and use right away,
without having to download map conversion tools and run them.

Would would be very cool would be a repository that could be used
both for downloading and for online internet mapping using Xastir,
but the pipe might need to be bigger to support that kind of abuse.
