Render name of peaks curved (I think on Mapnik they do not get
rendered at all...).

Make use of the paved/unpaved attribute.  Osmarender seems to deal
with this but I d not understand in which manner.  Sometimes the
borders of a track are dashed lines.

Render "highway=cycleway surface=paved" as a real way and not
similar to a simple footpath (dashed line). Osmarender is slightly
better.

If the name label of a way does not fit, use a footnote-like
style to attach the name to the way.

TBC ;-)
