That is true, but the "good practice" page in the wiki says "One
feature, one osm-object". So, noone should be too suprised if a renderer
is only rendering either the waterway or the powerline.
IMHO renderers should encourage good practices by not being to lax
in what they render. I am just thinking of the problems arising from web
browsers trying to render everything that looks vaguely like html.
