I can think of a fourth, but it might be problematic:  Download the
OSM Shapefiles to disk (whole world).  Set up a WMS server for them.
Attach Xastir to said server.

If someone had some serious bandwidth available and we could somehow
limit the users to mostly Xastir users, it might not be too bad
running such a server.  Even cooler yet would be a round-robin DNS
address that would load-balance (somewhat) between many such people
providing this service.

Just throwing it out there.  Don't really know if it's viable.
