The "blobs" are created by the "abutters" data key. Currently using:
gray - residential
pink - retail
blue - industrial
yellow - commercial
purple - industrial
blue - mixed

I'm expecting to use the <area> data for colouring retail and industrial
areas leaving probably only the residential areas as "blobs". At the moment
for me its more of a check for what tags are showing up.
