I'm sure, there has to be a way for renderers to collapse parallel ways to

The railway example is only one of more examples.
Right, to do this well we'd really need to work out some good use cases.
Incidentally, a middle ground option would be to have an relation that
indicates that the two tracks are indeed parallel and form a pair. A
renderer could use that information to compute a middle line when
required.
If collapsing takes into account the number of collapsed tracks to consider
it for the signature in the map - even better.
The signature? What do you mean?
Well - I fear, I used the word with one of meanings it has in German -
but probably not in English
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signatur_%28Kartographie%29
A "Signatur" - other meanings can be translated to the English
"signature" - in the context of cartography is the style a map feature
is visualized - an icon, the style and colors of a line and so on.
;) What's the English word for that?

Peter
