I've seen the symbols before (on a Czech map). I think these symbols
were invented to make drawing map by hand fast. If they're not common
in other countries, there is no reason to keep using them.
I think symbols for osmarender could be more detailed. Symbols
looking like trees sparingly put on the map would be better. I don't
like mapnik rendering, I think the trees are too small and there is
too many of them.
