Two rules of thumb to remember:

1) Don't tag for the renderer.
2) It's hard to go wrong with a journal entry pointing to the location
you're working on and ask "How do I?" when you can't find the answer in
the wiki.

Osmarender tends to be more complete in it's tag awareness.

* Some restrictions apply, such as multipolygons and area=yes tags, for
which there's pretty much only one right way to do it.
