Looks like Japanese may be especially interested in joining the 
area:highway party - Poles, Germans and Ukrainians are here already 
(Russians have their own a:h party, but I'm not sure if they follow the 
fashion, because it's evolving) =} :

but please BYOS (Bring Your Own Server) for rendering a:h layers, 
because osmapa.pl is not able to serve any more countries than it does 
now. It should be no problem to use this code on other servers, however.

It also means that real importance could be tagged one day instead of 
"official" importance, so we have at least something proper once people 
will have what they really want anyway. =}
