I see that you defined base-style=default for this style. It is probably the best option at the current situation. I look forward to Steve's work on the style branch merge. I would like to see some include mechanism, or means to define a tree of base-style (multiple styles per base-style definition, and styles based on styles based on styles). It could be useful to be able to override or delete rules from the base definition, e.g., if you want everything except buildings from the default style, or if you want to translate some POIs differently. Best regards, Marko

Hi Marko,

I only wanted to add the marine objects, so it seemed the way to go.

I think some kind of include would be good because then one could mix and match from any number of "themed" style files. Also, I think it would be very useful to be able to conditionally include stuff or not. Hey, why don't we reinvent the C pre-processor, or m4, etc? Mark

Hi
(multiple styles per base-style definition, and styles based on styles based on styles).
You can already do styles based on styles based on styles based on... There is no multiple inheritance, but I can't think of any reason why not. ..Steve
