[Tagging] highway=crossing not rendered on Mapnik (& others)

[Dave F.]

Great Scott. Just searched the previous messages & find I asked posted 
the same point just a few months back, so please ignore this if you 
wish, although i still think it needs clearing up if only to prevent 
incorrect tagging & improving the map (IMO).

Cheers
Dave F.
