Short answer : Yes. Long answer : The renderer operates on a subset of the data contained in the DB. It is up to the operator of the renderer to extract and possibly massage that data into a format that the renderer can utilize. It is not the place of the renderer to impose limitiations or rules into what is in the DB, since the the DB is/might/will be used for other tasks than just rendering maps. This is similar to the previous discussion this month, where someone wanted to impose limitations on what charactersets could be used for tagnames. All together now, repeat this months mantra after me : "Implementing non-DB technical limitations and rules for content in the DB is bad, recommendations and smarter algorithms in renderers are good."
