[Tilesathome] Rendeing of sac_scale

Is this the correct way to adress rendering issues?

In that case:

I've started to use the sac_scale for my mountain-path work. Up to
sac_scale=mountain_hiking, I'm satisfied. Now, I have a couple of
paths that I think deserve demanding_mountain_hiking, and here is my
gripe: demanding_mountain_hiking is not taken into account, and it's
rendered as a normal footway!

My proposal: At least make it the same as mountain_hiking.

But my proposal:

demanding_mountain_hiking: longer space between dots.

alpine_hiking: long dashes and crosses ?
demanding_alpine_hiking: short dashes and crosses?
difficult_alpine_hiking: dots and crosses?

This will make it more difficult the closer the crosses are to each
other, and crosses are for alpine...

I'm not sure how this turns around. I have no experience with the style
sheets at all...

Would it be hard to test it out, visually/intuitively? Ideally, it
should be pretty intuitive what's the most difficult...

but priority 1: Don't make the more difficult ones render normally just
because one hasn't decided on the proper rendering yet, let it render
like the most difficult decided? ;)

I'm a bit guilty of "tagging for the renderer" these days, but I
guess I'll change the ways in question sooner or later when this gets
sorted :)
