It's actually pretty simple, as Magus pointed out. However, the server side is a bit more complex because we are generating the core_mapstyles.xml from a database. We have to make entries in multiple tables to get it going.

Right now we're working on getting the new icons_*.xml generation working - there are going to be pretty major changes to the entire file structure to support that and include POI toggeling - we've got it working on a test sever right now. We don't want to alter the current database because it would mean when we transfer over the test database, all that work would be overwritten.

In regards to adding POIs manually . . . You'd have to generate all the XML by hand, which would be a pain, especially considering that you don't have the entire community working to add them. If you knew where the POIs were, you wouldn't need them, 'eh?

Anyway, I think we're just about ready to roll out the new code, so we should be getting the new maps in shortly thereafter.
