Yes, I guess we can inline the default style again. I wanted to make it 
modular so that you could choose which modules you want to include in 
the map (for example, if you do not want other landuse than waters).  

But, I do not seem to have the time or interest to do big changes any 
more, since I no longer use the Garmin maps myself (using OsmAnd 
instead). Furthermore, most of the time OSM seems to be good enough for 
me where I move (no need to update the maps often any more).

I wonder if it would be feasible to write a backend for some open-source 
Android navigation application (I know, it could be a moving target).  
Perhaps we could cooperate with the OsmAnd team. The OsmAndMapCreator is 
horribly slow, and it seems to suffer from problems that we solved years 
ago. A recent example is failure to add all bus route ${ref} to the 
underlying ways. This was solved by the $(var) syntax in the relation 
'apply' rule.
