<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>Richard,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>This is more general than how I would like to render my
individual map. I think that it refers to the general tagging schema of
Openstreetmap for entities such as island and lakes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>If you look at Liberty island in the port of
New-York. You see that, with Mapnik, the name of the island is well
rendered at zoom level 13. The name is ever bigger than the island.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>For the Great Lakes, also, we cannot see the
names on the OSM maps.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>Thats bring more questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>Are they any tags that could permit a certain
hierarchisation for rendering of entities like we have for city
names?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>Is this non representation of entities like Great Lakes
or important island is a choice that have been clearly expressed in the
Openstreetmap community?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>If not, in wich instance, should we discuss about
that? </FONT></DIV>
