One of the rules we use is the "one feature, one OSM element” [1]

This makes sense for a lot of elements, e.g. if something has the tag: higway=residential it would be silly to also have amenity=restaurant on the same element.

But it is not very uncommon to have a memorial that was created as a piece of art by an artist. One could tag such an object with:

tourism=artwork

historic=memorial

and of course add other relevant stuff like artist_name etc.

But what should be rendered in such a case? The memorial or the artwork?

From my understanding, once a node or way with a valid code has been encountered during style processing, mkgmap considers it finished and moves to the next item. But let's say I prefer to see the historic=memoriaI tag rendered and don't care about artwork, is there a way to prioritize the assignment of icons to one of those tags?

Cheers,

Dave
