I'm curious why the power_source tag is set to deprecated while the 
Mapnik stylesheet has not been adapted to include the new tag. I would 
think that would the logical step. No use in making a new tag that is 
not rendered, especially when the old tag is supposed to not be used 
anymore.
The wiki is also less than helpful. The wiki page of power_source [1] 
is an immediate redirect to generator:source [2] with no mention that 
power_source might be deprecated.
