I updated the README with some info:
  https://github.com/bzg/wlmmap

The bottleneck is that loading 50000+ monuments would take very
long... querying the database, transmitting the data to the .js then
parsing these data to display clusters on the map... way too long.
At least I don't know how to do this.

There is one chance: if someone knows ClojureScript and leaflet
markercluster module, we may try to use addLayers instead of addLayer,
but I did not manage to get this to work.

In any case: the display-monuments-from-a-country is more about
serendipidipitidity (I never know how to write this word...) while
displaying monuments "HERE" is about getting quick and accurate
information about some place.

Hope so!

Hey hey, I guess the vast majority of us is part of some minority :)

Thanks for the feedback,
