There are no categorizes in the OSM data, believing that will not be
helpfull to you when you try to use OSM data. The current way of
sometime using the key as an category isn't working that well. Or I
might be wrong I don't write that many stylesheets, and they are the
biggest consumers of our data, so take a look at how they handle it.
