You are thinking structure of the object here, we are proposing an
end-user functionality instead. When your car navigator switches from day
mode to night mode, is that the same map?

Another situation is switching between a map with lots of detail to one
that has less. To the user, that's still "OSM", but one is "OSM bright"
with all the details, while
the other is "light background", in this case, with different styles and
fewer layers (the high detail ones are omitted): same dataset, two
different styles.
I guess one could achieve the same using a fixed array of layers and using
styles that never display anything to take out the unwanted layers but...
that's really clumsy.
