I think I took this to the TilesAtHome list when I worked out that
the maplint stuff seems to be built there, although I'm not entirely
sure whether the same maplint layer is used on mapnik.

Anyway, the T at H client has had a rebuilt XML incorporated as per the
current Map Features, and so service=parking_aisle doesn't
misleadingly tell me it isn't in Map Features any more (when it
clearly was).

What I have noticed though is barrier=bollard isn't in Map Features,
even though it is mentioned as an existing rendering in a proposal
for more barrier= stuff on the wiki
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/barriers
), is a menu option in JOSM and renders on the Osmarender layer. 

Is this something that could justifiably just be added to Map
Features (Barriers section) as a well used feature that isn't
currently there? Or would there be complaints about the cavalier
manner in which it was added and someone else removing it again?
