That makes sense if you think of a pass being a locality ("we had a
picnic up at the pass") rather than a particular road feature ("we
drove over the pass"). I would probably do the same thing, naïvely.
Probably a more intuitive tag would have been highway=mountain_pass
(like highway=turning_circle...)
Also, it doesn't look like Mapnik actually does render it?
