This sounds great. 
I tried to add POI drawing support to osm-pdf-atlas these days too. But for 
this i didn't want to invent the mapping between icons and map-feature again. 
So I had a look at the osmarender rules which turned out to be too 
complicated to parse and interpret for me. Then i had a look at the 
freemap.xml file, which seemed like a good start to me. So my Idea was 
similar. What about creating a general OSM-Map-Feature.xml file which is the 
same for all applications. These then can use these definitions for entering 
or rendering Map Features.
So my question is: Where do we place this file in the OSM-SVN?

The second question would be if we also can use a common set of structured 
icons for all applications. For this I started the icons folder in SVN. it's 
located at:
 svn.openstreetmap.org/map-icons/
This would enable us to have a unique look of all map icons over all 
OSM-Applications.

I updated the current SVN. But i cannot find the file. Where did you place it?
