I think that would be useful, but I'll leave the syntax to others. I
lean strongly towards always showing data in Potlatch, since every
object can be transmorgified into a different type of object. For
example, if you are hiding certain things (e.g. rivers) there's
nothing stopping you from changing a road into a river and it then
disappearing, or forgetting that you've hidden certain things and
adding duplicates.

In saying that it's always worth remembering that Halcyon, and MapCSS
too, are general purpose tools. I sometimes end up coding things that
are a little to potlatch2-specific into them!

Wiki found in inaccuracy shocker! :-)
