While playing round with mapnik style sheets I came across a noname
style sheet which makes a red line for the way:

I extended it a little by making it render up to z7, and it also
ignores unnamed roundabouts:
I forgot to mention, the author of the style sheet uses the following
tags to hide streets with no names, or at least no sign posts:
tag k='validate:no_name' v='no_sign'/
tag k='validate:no_name' v='yes'/

I'm a bushwalker and I'm attempting to map the Blue Mountains, including

I'm doing some work on the outskirts of Brisbane, where the properties

At one end of the scale, you have inner city housing (350-1000 sq m
lots), and there's no question they are residential. At the

I am facing the same issue in Bendigo. I have been considering suggesting a
landuse=rural_residential tag. AS you state, these blocks are too small for
farming and are therefore still residential. In general, these sort of areas
are on the periphery of townships and are a transition into

A farm is an area of land that you derive the majority of your income from.

I don't know what produces a SVG file, but if you click on the export
tag on the main OSM website you can export areas as SVG.
My argument is that a tax purpose is not a land use - you can run a small
business (tax purpose) from a residential address but it doesn't make it a
commercial property.
