That already happens for some items in OSM. In the OSM mapnik style nodes and ways are treated individually. For example >From my mapnik rules[1]: place_of_worship polygons are rendered up to scale 1:750,000 place_of_worship points are rendered up to scale 1:12,500 parking polygons are rendered up to scale 1:750,000 parking points are rendered up to scale 1:25,000 [1] these might not be identical to the current rules on OSM but are illustrative. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
