I'm not talking about STYLE - I'm talking base data!

ANY map can display what it wants, how it wants, but they will all have the 
same problem where there are conflicts between area and node data. NOTHING 
precludes rendering what ever we want, but how does the cycle map solve this 
conflict? Just ignore 'parking' and this particular problem goes away, but if 
someone decides parking needs to be on the cycle map which area/node data 
should it work with? Do you have to re-write the renderer every time someone 
comes up with a new conflict?
