I've been working on a rule set for mapnik to give the Canadian map more 
canadian flavour. So incorporating the real highway shields for most 
provinces, plus a few color tweaks to start with and a few other shops 
and amenities also get icons now. The shields are the time consuming 
part, as I've had to generate the svg for each number for each province 
(though its a bit more scripted now then it was to start, after 
realizing exactly how many hundred numbered highways there are in just 
Alberta). Once its up then I'll be open to other suggestions (or 
patches) to change other things on the map.
