Between that and the pages at http://etricceline.de/osm/index.htm it
is exactly what I was after (and more!).  I wish I'd known about this
when I was first starting - it would have been great starting point
and the examples of how things are rendered is wonderfully bonus.

Why would I want to do it myself when someone else has already done it
better :-)

Many thanks!
