I did
highway:residential
name:Main Street
which works very well. Please note that Firefox 1.5 cannot display text 
embedded in SVG. Use Inkscape instead.

You can view it in Firefox (better 2.0 due to the text displaying issue) 
or Inkscape. Inkscape lets you export it to raster graphics like png.
