OpenStreetMap looking into the future

On osm-dev, there was a discussion how to name the download location for the whole data. Some people seem to think forward:
»Since there is more than one planet, and someone might want to map the canals of Mars one day, I think we should call our planet by its proper name. +1 for earth.«

(now, the real reason is that there was discussion about having a planet osm for blog aggregation)
