I'm about to enable this in the main mapnik layer, but I need to
re-import the planet data into the DB to add the oneway attribute.

I noticed this a few days ago, it is a problem with the select line used
for that data. I'll put in a fix for that too.

Don't know about this.

I think we need to do something to improve this. I find editing and
developing the osm.xml file far too difficult to encourage updates from
lots of people. I'm currently wondering about whether we can get a
mapnik render layer as a plugin to JOSM. Or even just a command line
tool which can take input data (file.osm), style (osm.xml) and x/y size
and write out a rendered image.png.
