[OSM-talk] Osmarender Layer="5"

[Stuart]

Hi

I'm modifying a local copy of Osmarender to tweak the map output for my own requirements. I've discovered that the drawing order is determined by the <rule> order in the osm-map-features-z*.xml files. Moving the rule down in the file can make visible a feature that was hidden behind an area. However, most of these files (at higher zoom levels) have a section called layer = 5 where the rules are all labelled as the highest layer. (-5 to 0 to +5) 

Why have some rules got the layer tag and others none and why are all set to 5? 

Cheers

Stuart
