[Talk-ca] Hiding an object

[Adam Dunn]

This really sounds like a "mapping for the renderer" situation (in this case
the renderer would be Garmin). This is generally discouraged. You have the
address information (in the Karlsruhe schema), but the Garmin converter
doesn't support it, so you are adding in extra tags to get better Garmin
support. You should be trying to get a really good map database that is
agnostic to render engines (be they Mapnik, osmarender, Garmin, or TomTom).
It is up to the render engine/converter to improve how it handles the
(supposedly) correct database.

Having said that, check out
