<pre wrap="">not a good idea IMHO.
1) what is the feature this tag should refer to? Consider a polygon that
is tagged as a building (building=yes) and a shop (shop=supermarked) and
a Walmart (operator=WalMart), and the mapper added RENDER=blue. What is
it that should be rendered blue? This object? Any supermarket? any
Walmart? </pre>

I don't understand what you say very well. "added RENDER" to what?<br>
As I say RENDER would typically apply to "an area", to one object,
not to "any".<br>
That is, you have building=yes + render=blue and that building gets
blue.<br>

<pre wrap="">2) I want to get Walmarts shown on the map in a different color, thus
all Walmarts I want to see in the map get
RENDER={mycolor-which-is-not-used-yet-in-the-zoomlevel-I'm-interested-in}.
Now the stylesheet maintainer uses that color for another object -
conflict, damn, fail.
3) I want to get Walmarts rendered pink on osm-carto, green on HOT,
orange on the cyclemap - what should go to the render-tag (even if the
styles would follow your proposal?
The only benefit I see in this proposal is just what you said: people
would stop tagging stuff just to get their map to display it the way
they want; but how do you ensure they don't tag stuff to be rendered
with the same style? How do you ensure the map stays usable?

<pre wrap="">Hi,
It's a well known fact that many people complain to tag in vain because
what they tag doesn't show on the map (e.g. mini-golf vs tennis pitch),
because they're told to open a rendering ticket which replies that only
official tags are supported, and because they open a vote for an
official tag and nobody signs.
As a result they are accused of "tagging for the renderer" instead of
'being forced to tag for the renderer".
The solution is simple however. A RENDER tag that, typically, would
assign a color to an area.
I'll let the rendering specialists define what else it can do.
⚠ ⚠ ⚠ RENDER only requests *by default* rendering.
As soon as rendering is defined for an element, it is used instead and
RENDER is normally ignored.
For a better map,
André.
