Clickable POIs on the frontpage

One of the areas where other map providers score over OSM is that many POIs on their slippy map are clickable, bringing up a balloon with more details (link to website, etc.).

Mapnik's MetaWriter functionality could provide much of the brainpower for this. Alternatively,

Another option is to use Mapnik UTF-8 grids as an alternate renderer for mod_tile, so UTF-8 tiles are created, then re-use the provided examples.

The goal is to get clickable POIs on the osm.org frontpage. Additional UI features such as highlighting icons on hover could drastically improve the user experience.

I'm ready to prepare a list of similar tags which may turning on a clicability like in a example above. @bhousel What do you think?

I imagine OSM clicability like this:
