There is no point in rendering secondary roads for z6.
Right, someone simply needs to produce stylesheets for that. I am not sure how much storage space it would consume for some marginal benefit (I don't think the current z6 looks very bad). I'd rather invest the disk space in a cool captionless layer that can serve as a base for the language overlay layers.
