The biggest problem with the Mapnik stylesheet right now is that it's in
SVN. Not the technology, but the fact that this gives people without commit

'just do it' until the style is actually maintained in GitHub, actually
welcomes contributions, and has active maintainers. Until then we're just
talking.
