Not urgent but a good feature to have:
1. Improve the Humanitarian style to highlight building damage and the
landuse=residential.  The humanitarian style is now added to fieldpapers
which I think some responders (ARC?) are using on the ground.
2.  I also requested this style to be added to MapOSMatic but there seems
to be some technical issues [0].  Maybe a good thing to look at as well.
