I'm trying to do *my* part, with a worked example of *how* to render
shields from route relations, what needs to happen with the front
(OSM->database) end of the render stack (or a data analysis stack, for that
matter), why my example of that will not scale to a planet with minutely
diffs, and a sketch of how to fix that.

That's why my discussion brings on TL;DR. It gets a bit (no, a lot!) bogged
down in the PostGIS details, but details are important.

As I said, I'm still having technical difficulties with mailing to
tile-serving, so thus far Senpai has not noticed me.
