Sounds like a good change to me :) And the follow up question, Is there a place on the wiki that lists the changes & each different item that is rendered on mapnik?
Ie. Other programs (mapgen.pl maperative maposmatic (to an extent) openmtbmap.org blogs about updates.) If it isnt, i could start listing them. (as the beginnings of a coprehensive map key). I need to make my own for my tourist maps (and eventual map book) anyway.
