[HOT] HOT/HDM web rendering

[Severin MENARD]

Hi,

I also agree with Andrew and Stéphane for the dotted line inside the
colored broad line. WFP mixes colors for 2 different categories in their
road maps (ex:
http://reliefweb.int/map/pakistan/pakistan-road-conditions-map-northern-sindh-and-balochistan-12th-october-2012)
and the result is just wrong, according to the map graphic semiology.

Sincerely,

Severin
