That was the start of the discussion in 2007, but was changed due to the
changes (around the same time) of highway=tunnel / highway=bridge to

good idea then ...

Ah, yes, good point. Although it's slightly complicated by a pass
theoretically being a point rather than a stretch of road. And that
presumably makes it hard to render - you'd need to work out which way
the point is oriented.


IMHO you don't. Simply render "Simplonpass, 2005 m" at the given point
in a pleasant font. Done.

Rendering a single point and a label is often found on topological maps.

For street maps, you'll usually have a "bridge like" symbol which needs an orientation of the corresponding way to be drawn properly (as Osmarender is already doing).


Obviously, it would be "much better than nothing" if mapnik at least would just render a point with a label ... :-)
