the Sutton Coldfield (England) TV mast:

at:

   http://www.opensntreetmap.org/?mlat=37.08321&mlon=-8.13643#map=17/37.0832/-8.1364

is a significant landmark, visible for several miles, and illuminated
at night. Yet it does not render. Is it missing a tag, or do we need
to tweak the rendering rules?

I became aware of this today, when I added a similar mast, at
Vilamoura (Portugal):

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=37.0830&mlon=-8.1364#map=17/37.0830/-8.1364

For that, I included three support wires, and three anchor points -
how should those be tagged?
