Just a note for ububtu people, that an alternative way of running that program 
is:

[apt-get install xalan]

xalan -IN file:///path/to/osm-map-features.xml -XSL osmarender.xsl -OUT 
output.svg

At the moment, I'm still looking for the best svg viewer for those files:
 - with GIMP or Inkscape, the roads don't have any colour (they ignore the 
styles?)
 - on Scribus, the roads appear as a series of triangles
- converting to PNG with imagemagick, the lines are black & white only, and 
some large areas of the map are blacked-out (looks like a similar problem to 
the scribus one, but creating polygons out of whole roads, rather than just 
each segment like scribus)
