In theory, that sounds sensible.  However, some carto offerings may be
reluctant to render it.  Some editors may be reluctant to switch to it, and
maybe not even offer it as an alternative preset.  Unless you can get
buy-in here, and from editors, and from the more widely-used carto,
it's not going to go anywhere.

Yeah, I know, I'm being negative (again).  I'm also being realistic.  I
often
wish that the different divisions within OSM were better at joined-up
thinking, but the anarchic nature of OSM means that probably won't
happen.  I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the best
we can do here is try to avoid making new mistakes because we
can't fixed entrenched mistakes.
