Ok, so it's clear that we want nice quality, consistently coloured,
meaningful icons. I really don't have the skills or patience to
contribute in this area, so I have to leave it to others. Is it not
better that we each do things we're good at?
More importantly - which POIs are available for DND is still kind of
in fluk, so it doesn't seem sensible to spend a lot of time on this
labour-intensive polishing work. Pharmacy may be the wrong colour for
shopping, but what if it moves to tourism or amenity? Then we'd have
to re-colour it again.
So for future reference, is it best if I comment out <!-- <point/> -->
for new map features if I don't have a beautiful icon for them? Or not
add map features at all?
