yep, of course optional and as you said, an addition to be able to
download only tiles updated less than D days would be nice, too, I
guess..

For example download every tile that has 2 (or 3 or four) neighbors
downloaded to 'fill the gaps' in the map.

So 300MB of tiles with 30% updated it would generate (5+10*30)*300 kB
= 89MB or so.. ok.. I wonder if it's ok for OSM people if people start
doing it like this a lot more than they now do.
