I think hedges(barriers) would work at the next zoom level up in mapnik.
They dont appear to cause clutter on (roughly) the same zoom with the OS
maps on Multipmap.
Chigwell area in mapnik

]
Chigwell area in multimap(OS) [link <http://www.multimap.com/s/NgF8hPej>],
contour lines make it a mess though

The only way to see if it is acceptable is to try it, which I guess is best
done something like Kosmos (think thats the right software). Dont have time
to experiment for several days. Any computer literate person want to try?

Agreed, but thats the beauty of OpenStreetMap. I've made several
improvements to land around the London Loop in Bromley that went into the
map just after Walk London created their maps. The maps can only get better.
