Good idea.

Would you happen to have an idea how to tag (and in mkgmap) hide a 
highway=service tunnel for accessing a railway tunnel? Here is an 
example that I added some time ago: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/69679696

Last time I was bicycling/mapping there, I got confused, because I 
thought that there would be a connection between the highway=residential 
(Kaskelanpolku) and the highway=secondary (Lahdentie). Of course, the 
tunnel would not be considered for routing, because the ways share no 
nodes, but the ways seemed to be connected on the map display.
