I notice that churches have reduced to a black square on recent Mapnik renderings. While that might be a good compromise for unspecified religion, the block with a cross on top (or just a cross) for Christian churches is so widely used on maps, not to use it seems perverse. Any chance we could have it back again?
Also, I'm curious why the name of this church: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.33673&lon=-0.1583&zoom=17&layers=B00FTF isn't rendered even at zoom 17. It doesn't appear to clash with any other label. While I'm on rendering things in Mapnik... - could man_made=water_tower be rendered? They shouldn't clutter the map as they tend to be set aside from other buildings, like windmills usually are. - bus stops are rather dominant. A bit smaller? On the other hand amenity=bus_station isn't rendered at all, which seems an anomaly. - there's an odd discrepancy between type sizes for similarly tagged nodes and areas. For example, I did a named industrial estate as landuse=industrial and inside that I put a number of named nodes also tagged landuse=industrial to represent individual factories, and shows up pretty nicely on Mapnik, except that the name of the industrial estate (area) is considerably smaller than the node names. If anything I think these should be the other way round, but probably making them the same size would be best. - bridges on footways etc are great, but those where they are in line with casings could be a bit bolder IMO.
