Yes, this sentence is misunderstood, and by many repliers apparently.
It means that once Mapnik uses a (defined) rendering you cannot change it (RENDER is ignored).
The main idea behind RENDER is not coloring objects, and I agree it shouldn't, but showing them.
And the renderer can do that with any single color they like.

Basically, all renderers already decide what they print or not.
If that's "already decided" rendering, I hope that those suggesting opening a ticket are not jokers ! ;-)
Adding a flag saying "hey don't forget my feature" will not change this principle.
Unless the renderers consider that they can't cope with every map feature, esp. with a specific rendering, that a plain surface and a name is sufficient and if the mappers are wise enough to follow guidelines without abusing.
Mapping a recreation site with only one of the three attractions they have and two big holes is the particular OSM meaning of the word attraction.
Also with your tag, the same feature may or may not be displayed on the map, depending if you added your RENDER tag or not.
If that's a problem, it has already been said that the simple solution is defining a rendering.
Your proposal have no chance to be adopted for these reasons.
Not a single suggestion either.  Happy tagging for the renderer, everybody.

André.
