IMHO it would be desirable. It might not be practical, though - I don't
know. You could try merging them by running diff -D foo file1 file2 then
searching for occurrences of "foo" in the file and changing them into
some sort of include.

This I definitely disagree with. t at h style should only change when a t at h
update is circulated. The whole world should be rendered the same style.
It's true that t at h development is moving very fast at the moment, so
this is irrelevant, but as t at h stabilises, we don't want the world to
start rendering different because people have updated parts of the
standard osmarender stylesheet.
