   Mapnik is only one representation of the map data.  What about those 
who use OpenCycleMap or Open Mapquest or HikeBikeMap or Hiking / 
Horseback Map?   If tagging for Mapnik messes up another map which is 
even better rendered to show the different uses, it does not accomplish 
anything except for showing in Mapnik today the way you wish.   Mapnik's 
rendering might change tomorrow.
