[Tagging] Rendering of individual power lines in residential areas on default osm-carto

[François Lacombe]

Regarding the power=minor_line tag vs distribution :

This problem is currently discussed in the Power path refinement proposal
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_transmission_refinement
and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_paths_refinement

Link to Talk :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Power_paths_refinement#line.3D.2A_and_cable.3D.2A:_similarity_and_difference

power=line + usage=distribution or power=line + usage=transmission sounds
better than line / minor_line.
+1 with Bryce to say transmission/distribution (IEC 601-01-09
<http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=601-01-09>
and 601-01-10
<http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=601-01-10>)
is far better than minor/major but the proposal hasn't been voted yet.

Feel free to complete it according to your needs.

All the best
