 It's a lot of very tedious work, more than double the work of actually laying 
out the streets, looks messy and has no advantage when used just for 
interpolation; I suggest you try mapping a few km of road with the suggested 
systems, you will quickly see the difference. I also don't like the rendering 
at all, but proper rendering of numbers the way we do here (so that people 
here will use it) is something I'll do later, I've been tinkering with curves 
so far, but that belongs to mapnik-devel :-)
