Tagging for rendered == Evil!
Mapnik will render whatever it is told to, and will drop things if
there isn't enough room.
Currently our rules are not very good about the order in which they
render things, which means that the wrongs things can get dropped. That
should probably fixed before we start rendering more things at low
zoom levels.
