Ah! OK - that's much more understandable.

About the "removing tags where they may clash" point, here's an example:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L4767

(that's in lua, which may not be appropriate for OSM Carto, but I'm sure 
that something similar could be done as a regular SQL Select)

Basically it's saying "if something is mapped as a brewery and also as 
tourist attraction, remove the tourist attraction tags prior to 
rendering so the renderer renders it as a brewery, not a tourist 
attraction".

Obviously a decision has to be made which of the two tags to render if 
either potentially could - either by layer order or by explicitly 
ensuring that one does and one doesn't, which I've done here.

Best Regards,

Andy
