Have you mapped them as a node or as an area? I've mapped a few near here as nodes, and they don't render as far as I know, but have mapped some as areas from Yahoo imagery in the USA and they do show. But it's up to who uses the OSM data what they choose to display and if Mapnik were to show everything it would look overly cluttered. I've mapped loads of benches and bins for dog waste for example, which would be useful if someone wanted to do a map of sea front walks near me (Clacton), but they don't render on Mapnik either, and I think it looks better for not doing so (now if we could go to zoom level 20...).
