Just a hint on mapping (not to Robin in particular): I think it is 
unnecessary to cut up landuse=residential areas just because there is a 
road there. The road itself is as much part of the residential area as 
the ground the houses stand on. IMHO there is no reason not to make the 
landuse=residential be contiguous across multiple roads.
