I would support the idea of a regional style iff it turns out to be practicable. One, isolated example. One of the reasons i was given for the inability to render unsealed roads was that the "preferred" style, dashed infill, was already used for tunnels. Where i live, there are many more unsealed roads than tunnels and their distinctive rendering is far more important. On the other hand, can we afford the effort of maintaining several constantly diverging stylesheets ? I was told to be silent on the matter until I could usefully contribute myself and have bookmarked a few pages but got no further..... That might be the real question. David . "Shawn K.
