The problem is that once we add a tag to the stylesheet, and it starts 
rendering, it is very hard to subsequently remove it for a better 
tagging scheme.

Especially now that there's this whole discussion on airodrome tagging, 
the quick request for aerodrome=rc_airstrip struck me as "let's try to 
get this one tiny aspect of that rendering". Implementing this would 
mean nothing for the abundance of airports now rendering in mapnik, even 
at lower zooms.

I would love to be able to render some at higher zooms only, based on 
hints such as a specific tag for airport size and/or national/regional 
importance. A good and non-arbitrary tagging scheme would be the way to go.

So, now you know why I made those remarks on that ticket. Discuss, 
document, request rendering. Usually in that order.
