1. Right now I just put them next to the highway number. I know that
they should be below the number, but I'm afraid it would be difficult
to distinguish on the map, since the font size must be considerably
smaller this way.
2. I think your ugly solution would still be the best, if we want
this. Just split the filter rules into a separate file and include it
into osm.xml.
