Now i've got the most bizarre results ever, it does actually seem to be
the right area its rending now, with all the right labels and icons....
just none of the ways (and no closed ways) all the individual nodes are
there (it seems, POI are showing up). Actually I lie there are about 5-6
ways showing, amounts to about 3-4 roads randomly placed over the map.
tried it with and without the completeRelations completeWays options,
tried 3 different svg viewers and replaced my osm-map-features-z17.xml
and osmarender.xsl files just incase.

Strange one.
