I'm sure this is a useful approach that will bear fruit. However, I 
think there are tags that will not be frequently used because there 
simply aren't that many of the objects on the ground. I have in mind 
man_made=windmill, of which I have 5 or 6 in my area, compared to 
thousands of roads, and scores of schools.

Personally, I think *everything* with a name should at least have the 
name rendered, with a generic area shading or a generic node bullet if 
it isn't one of the specially rendered things. But given that 
disagreement is a way of life on this list, I'm sure there will be a 
camp that disagrees with that notion.
