As far as I can tell, the main argument for this reversion is "that's  
what the renderers want".

I wonder why those who claim the change was wrong didn't speak up in  
the lengthy discussions in March? (Starting at http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2008-March/023876.html 
  and http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2008-March/009345.html 
, and I do remember one opposing opinion which I can't find.)

Cheers
