[mkgmap-dev] Suggested improvements to naming in default style

Hi Marko or others,

I have some suggestions for the default style which I think improve the 
naming of various sports-related things, of hotels, and of tourist 
information POIs:

[Polygons style file]
leisure=stadium {name '${name} (${sport})' | '${name}' } [0x19 
resolution 19]
leisure=track {name '${name} (${sport})' | '${name}' } [0x19 resolution 18]
leisure=pitch {name '${name} (${sport})' | '${name}' | '${sport}' } 
[0x19 resolution 20]
leisure=sports_center | leisure=sports_centre {name '${name} (${sport})' 
| '${name}' } [0x19 resolution 20]

[Points style file]
leisure=stadium {name '${name} (${sport})' | '${name}' } [0x2c08 
resolution 21]
leisure=track {name '${name} (${sport})' | '${name}' } [0x2c08 
resolution 21]
leisure=pitch {name '${name} (${sport})' | '${name}' | '${sport}' } 
[0x2c08 resolution 21]
leisure=sports_center | leisure=sports_centre {name '${name} (${sport})' 
| '${name}' } [0x2d0a resolution 20]

tourism=hotel | tourism=motel { name '${name} (${operator}) (${stars}*)' 
| '${name} (${stars}*)' | '${operator} (${stars}*)' | '${name}' } 
[0x2b01 resolution 20]
tourism=information {name '${name} - ${description} (${operator})'| 
'${name} - (${description})' | '${name}' | '${description}' | 
'${operator}' | '${ref}'} [0x2f0c resolution 20]
tourism=viewpoint {name '${name} - ${description}' | '${name}'} [0x2c04 
resolution 20]

Would it also make sense to harmonise resolution levels between the 
points and polygons style files (i.e. leisure=stadium should have the 
same resolution in both points and polygons files)?  Or are they 
deliberately set at different resolutions?
