Interesting topic.  I think it is inevitable that Osmarender and Or/p will
diverge at some point.

We can hope that both versions can continue to run off the same set of rules
files, but there will always be differences in features (and bugs) between
the two implementations.

In the long run a perl implementation is more appropriate for t at h, but an
XSL implementation is more appropriate for other purposes (on-the-fly
rendering in a browser from raw .osm files for example).

However we have enough regressions in t at h at the moment without introducing
more by prematurely implementing a new renderer.
