Actually, osmarender first renders the road casing, then the building
and then the core. This is to make places like this:
http://tools.geofabrik.de/map/?type=ti...@home&lon=10.75114&lat=59.91142&zoom=17
look good.

I also seem to recall that if I drew the buildings above the road core
roads could easily get swallowed completely in some cases, which is a
bad idea.

I agree that casings should be drawn inside the areas instead of
outside, but as far as I can see that's not possible with SVG. I'd
love to be proven wrong on that point though.
