<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm modifying a local copy of Osmarender to tweak
the map output for my own requirements. I've discovered that the drawing order
is determined by the <rule> order in the osm-map-features-z*.xml files.
Moving the rule down in the file can make visible a feature
that was hidden behind an area. However, most of these files (at higher zoom
levels) have a section called layer = 5 where the rules are all labelled as the
highest layer. (-5 to 0 to +5) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why have some rules got</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2> the layer tag and others none and why are all
set to 5? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
