[OSM-dev] suggestions for low zoom rendering

hi, i'm not sure if this is the right place but i would like to make some
suggestions to make the lowzoom more usable.

the place name rendering of level 10 is smaller than level 9 or at least
harder to read. it should be the same as level 9 if you ask me.

the landuse=residential rendering is now #f0f0f0 which is almost invisible
and would be a great way too identify cities. #e0e0e0 would probably
be pretty nice.

i also think the railway rendering at level 9 is too much. railways now
seem more important than highways which i think most of us would
disagree with. rendering it the same as level 10 and 11 would be better.

i'm trying to do some lowzoom rendering of the netherlands but it is
pretty hard because it will only work for level 9 (sometimes only 10).
below that it takes hours preparing and crashes when rendering.
is somebody working on this?

thanks
