To add some extra clarification (I hope). The whatever.rendering.xml files change the display of the already defined map objects for car, pedestrian or whatever. These map objects need to be in the obf. roads-only maps don't contain houses. No matter what render.xml you use, you will not see them. The rendering_types.xml <https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/obf_creation/rendering_types.xml> defines which objects can be displayed (in the various ways the whatever.rendering.xml files define). This also means that you can have an osm with parcel polygons, or simply points where you peed against a wall, but as long as OsmAndMapCreator doesn't know the existence of such "objects" it cannot put them in an obf file. This rendering_types.xml is used during map creation. Changes to this rendering_types.xml are only effective if you compile your own OsmandMapCreator with that modified rendering_types.xml (and I think that is what Gregs other question is about). (Or you should make a pull-request and hope that the Osmand dev-team will add it to the repository.)
After having built his own OsmandMapCreator with modified rendering_types.xml, Greg can create obf files containing his parcels. The finishing step is then indeed to create a parcel.render.xml based on the default.render.xml that does display these parcels now that they are in the obf. >From that moment on every OsmAnd with that parcel.render.xml can display Gregs parcels.obf.
