    except for the the very frequent case when the river with a layer=-1
    goes through a landuse=* area with a layer=0.



+1, as soon as there is any other object on a different layer, be it landuse, a place area or something else, with the lower layer tag you are excluding the river from this feature and putting it below.


I'm genuinely surprised how a relatively simple tag can cause such confusion amongst experienced mappers. The above is an example of incorrect tagging & therefore should be fixed. However, on saying that, it doesn't mean that it will automatically be rendered as such. As has been said many times previously it is just a *guide* for the renderer, who, as with Mapnik, will ignore the layer=* tags in that example & let common sense prevail.
