XAPI isn't that helpful, especially if you need to have more than one
key/value pair.

I've never done it, but you could export from the OSM site as SVG, and
then tweak that manually in a SVG editor like inkscape.

Most people wanting custom rendering however either use openlayers and
put something on top of a base map, or they modify a base map style
sheet to make their own rendering completely.
