Thanks to all for the information. It's becoming a bit clearer to me.

However I still think there's something wrong with a system that takes years to render an almost universal accepted replacement tag for a deprecated one that was previously rendered.

Am I right in thinking the style file has been updated only once in over two years & that was just to delete comments?

Is the style file user purely to decide what gets rendered? If so, I'm surprised to see ele & z_order

Cheers

I admit I'm a bit of an outsider on this (I prefer going out,
collecting data to upload) but I'm a bit surprised by these 'it's not
possible really' comments.

A few years ago it was announced that the carto schema (or whatever
you want to call it) was to be 'overhauled to make it simple to edit
so everybody could lend a hand'. It appears, from what's been said
here, that it either didn't improve or it's gone back to square one.
It was improved. Old XML style was horrible to edit (see more at
https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2013/08/05/new-rendering-cartocss-stylesheet/
).

Icons to POIs have been added to the carto in the past few updates
(ie amenity=fountain), what's different about ford=yes?
Key amenity is loaded in the database used to render this style on the
OSM website, key ford is not (keys that are available for Default style
are listed at
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/openstreetmap-carto.style
).
