I'm not sure, and iirc buildings rendered on top of the highways some
time ago and someone noted that it was a bug and it was changed to be
the way it is now.  Maybe that's not very logical, but I think it's
actually better for a general purpose map because the highways are the
first class citizens (Open*Street*Map) and someone reading the map
will most likely be looking for a way to get somewhere, rather than
for the building shape.

And while I'm on it I want to note that abbreviations are not used in
OSM and the "Sv." is a very good example because it's practically
impossible for a program to expand it automatically because it's a
plural form in this case.  I hope this message doesn't cause a new
flamewar to ensue :)
