Please don't put it in the API. The API and the Planet-Dumper and all server-side tools out there just should show what's in the database -- not more, not less.
For me this sounds like a feature for a client library, that can be plugged in or out. This Plugin for this client lib could (!) use the rules from some server but could also use rules locally stored (eg. when in offline mode on some navigation device) Maybe some parts of the JOSM-Code could be used as a basis for this.
