Now that would be novel. > we map all kinds of highways on a > small fixed set of highway keys That is true but that small set has been determined through evolution and has never been defined as fixed by anybody. It's probably just a words but if someone came up with a new highway value today then all we could say to him is: You're using a rare value for this key, and it is possible that the software support will be limited. We wouldn't say: You are using a WRONG value that is outside the DEFINED FIXED SET OF CANONICAL VALUES and therefore it is you OWN FAULT that it isn't rendered. Likewise, while renderers are of course free to decide what to support and what not, nobody has the power to define a fixed set of canonical values for anything.
