Still leaves you with the problem of time, storage, and ToS violations in
getting all the tiles cached. (from an xastir perspective, anyway.)

Also, Im curious how much effort it would be to support real vector

Interesting concept.   store the vector data for the tiles, paying the CPU
hit of extracting the vector data only once in exchange for the (smaller
than bitmap tile) price of the disk space to store it, then render the tile
on demand. that may fit the pi/beagle/etc model pretty well.
