If you're creating your own maps, then you have complete control over 
what gets included or not in the mkgmap map (whether you're using the 
newer "style" files or the older "map features" list).

Many (most?) people who create mkgmap maps will tinker with the style 
files to some extent.

If the question is "how do I get feature XYZ added to the default style 
file" then a chat with the people on the mkgmap list might make sense:

People submit occasional default style patches, and they get 
incorporated (usually after a bit of discussion, but without any of the 
aggravation that sometimes inhabits the OSM lists).

Cheers,
Andy
