network tag in highway relations for highway shields, operator tags for
banks, petrol stations, bus stops, etc. I think all the necessary
information already is available with network and operator. The next step
will be to make a table of networks and operators and their respective
shields and icons. When that is in place, make the actual rendering rules to
Mapnik/Osmarender/Kosmos/<insert favorite renderer here>
