In general, it seems that tower is for a larger structure that is more
lattice-like and mast for a structure that is more of a pole.   I am not
sure this distinction makes sense, but I am also not sure it's harmufl.

However, if one renders and one doesn't, in the default style, that's a
bug, and presumably someone can make a pull request to fix it - it seems
obviously uncontroversial.
