i don't know about the current style, but in the past there has been an
issue
where a way was contained in a relation, and both the way and the relation
had the same admin boundary tagging. the stylesheet of 1-2 years ago
would draw the admin boundary twice.

i haven't checked to see if this problem has been fixed or  not. the correct
answer is to only tag the relation and remove any duplicate tagging from
the way, especially because the way may be in multiple relations and with
different admin levels in the different relations.
