And it it enough to have the alternate static map inside <noscript>?
Does this work on all the odd browsers out there that we want to
support? If so that'll make everything else much easier.

There are some concerns about a) printing and b) the amount of JavaScript that needs to be loaded for the slippy map, and c) possibly missing <noscript> support. Would it perhaps be better to have the static map image that's currently in <noscript> as default, add a JavaScript "onclick" handler to it, that shows some animated sandclock, loads OpenLayers and displays a map instead of the former static image?

Except on Wednesday you'll see an empty map (only coastline) if you
look at that, since the osm2pgsql import is running on the tileserver.
I don't know whether that's something that's a problem we could hack
around in our own setup while updating the Planet mirror, maybe by
keeping two database copies.

The original plan was to permanently import the diffs, just like others are doing it already (e.g. MetaCarta for the up-to-date service).
