there are reasons why there may need to be custom rendering stylesheets for different parts of the world. it may be as simple as local taste, but there can be other issues - the new highway shield rendering for the US is really nice, but may not make it into the main Carto style sheet, so there's a chance the highway shields will get rolled out in an openstreetmap.us style. richard
