I encourage anyone with Mapnik coding experience to read through http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/2675 , especially my suggestion for multiline shields. I may be wrong, but it seems that this would be easy to implement, and would be strictly better than the current setup where very few overlaps display.
So I barely managed to get Mapnik working and played around a bit with shields. I didn't realize that each size shield was a separate image file. I guess that makes it a little harder - you need to filter by maximum line length after breaking at semicolons. I figured Mapnik just took the text, put a fill behind it, and rounded off the corners. If that were so, it would be a lot simpler to use wrap_character=";" like the motorway_junction code does.
