Perhaps we're both saying the same thing. You could in theory have a TYP file which uses recommended types as created by a default style. You will have a problem with routable highways in particular as the available type numbers are fairly limited - subtypes are only reserved for extended types It could be done with most non routable polylines reserved for types 100+. There is a max of 1ff1f There is however one issue, in that there is little documentation as to the 'effect' of using extended types >150 The same could be done for polygons; a good example is the use of leisure=pitch and sport tag How many 'default' sports are there? My TYP file shows at least 10 but they may not be to someone elses liking. So it can be done. It is however my experience that most people after a while tend to modify a TYP to reflect their own preferences. -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Cutting-down-the-default-style-tp6978402p698...
