Imho, it is.
So the offline usage is now possible and solved very nicely for general use.

But on the other hand, offline osm renderer plugin might still be useful for
various reasons, for example:

1) For truly offline use, updating .osm data is much simplier (there is a patch
released everyday, that weights about 100M packed). Updating the whole (or
half) planet's cache everyday (or once a week) would be awful. This is in the
case if one wants an up to date map for the whole (or a large part of the)
planet.

2) It is possible that one might not want to depend on the server and wants to
have a standalone set of data (in editable, original format), that is rendered
on his computer. Just because.

3) I am not sure if rendering will be much slower than downloading. The
rendering time should be checked.

This is low priority, though, and the main question was about general offline
use, i suppose.
