Absolutely. When I'm planning a trip, I like to look at OSM maps<br>
online. There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a few "towns"<br>
(obvious from the network of streets), but not a town name to be seen.<br>
<br>
Sure, I can zoom in to see the names, but when I do that, I've got to<br>
zoom in so far that I can no longer see the spacial relationship between<br>
those few towns (because I can see only one at a time). This is the<br>
result of tagging rural Australian towns purely on the basis of population.<br>
<br>
The principle of not tagging for the renderer can be taken too far. The<br>
maps must be useful.<span class="HOEnZb"></span></blockquote><div><br>Don't obsess over a single renderer. You wouldn't use a circuit diagram to build a bookcase, and you wouldn't instruct your chef with music notation. Make a rendering style that meets your needs. Take a shot at creating rendering rules that fit your use case! :-)<br>
