Tagging this argument further, we should do everything possible to prevent
people finding out what tags are supported by each renderer. That doesn't
make sense.

Information about tag support is a *good* thing, not a bad one. I now
realise that Mapnik doesn't recognise *any* sport=* tags, but that's not
going to stop me using them. But it will make me be careful to always use it
with a tag that it *does* support as well. See how this is beneficial?

Not necessarily a column. I was thinking of some little icons or text at the
bottom of one of the other columns. So, like "Mn Pl" would mean "supported
by Mapnik and Potlatch" or something. Small. Discreet. But I really think
this information should be visible.
