Who decides what colours are used on the main maps? I.e. who actually
decided that motorways should be blue, and trunks should be green, how
railways are rendered etc.?
Say I'd like to see railways rendered differently in the t at h maps, where
should I ask? Is there some "formal" process like for accepting new
tags where general agreement is formed?
