[HOT] HOT/HDM web rendering

[Stéphane Henriod]

I wanted to make the same proposal as Andrew. If the smoothness or the
pavedness was rendered independently of the colour and independently of the
width, with a different fill pattern, maybe this would be quite intuitive
for the users (the more rugged the surface the more dense the pattern).

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers
