I do believe you, and I haven't actually tried to implement such an
algorithm myself. It's just my instinct that we should be tagging the data
and letting the renderers worry about rendering algorithms later. However, I
agree that there's a balance to be struck.

Do relations solve the problem at all? If a track is part of a route
relation, then could a renderer use that as a means of aggregating the
tracks together?

Are there any Mapnik people we can involve in this discussion?
