well, lots of things are industries, so that doesn't really hold.
should they all be the same colour? not imo

great. stylesheets are easy to write

that's slightly more extreme than my suggestion. i sense a straw-man
argument here

yes, it is. the more info the better

well, that's got nothing to do with me/us really. we're not creating a
map, we're recording information that can be used for a map. it's up
to the maintainers of the renderers to decide what info to show. if
they want all industrial areas (including airports, sea ports, etc) to
show as one colour then they can. if they don't then they can display
them as many colours. but if we log them all as the same, they have no
option. there cannot be too much information - disk space and
bandwidth are not an issue (as far as i'm aware).
