Well, my workflow for developing a Merkaartor style and also for
verifying the map is that I look at an area zoomed out, and then zoom in
on the nodes that might have a problem because they show the generic
icon. But when zooming in, I might then see that they do in fact have
their own icon and it was just a bogus alarm :)

I agree that for a map *viewer*, showing a dot is very useful so that
the user knows that it's worth taking a closer look, but for a map
editor, I'm doubtful. Transforming explicitly assigned icons to a dot
when zoomed out would be good (to reduce map clutter), but I would want
the nodes without tags still stand out as flags.

Cheers
