The expression is "don't tag *incorrectly* for the renderer". There's 
nothing wrong with adding tags to assists renderings & there's far more 
than just the mapnik render.

landuse=residential & building=yes are not mutually exclusive. 
Landuse=Residential is useful to show the extent of towns etc without 
the overhead of detailing all the buildings.
