Rendering (railway=rail & service=siding) should begin with z=15, otherwise get garbage like this - http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=55.7916&lon=37.6564&zoom=13&layers=B000FTF.

Size of sidings reduced to fit with railway=stub (much used in TIGER data). You do need to tag things as railway=siding to simplify things. I have changed the ones I found in this area.

1. I think that is not always such simplification is acceptably. How can I tag railway=tram + service=siding, railway=subway + service=siding or railway=rail + service=yard?

2. railway=siding not described in Map features, as well as railway=stub (you mean "spur"?). Newcomers do not know what you write here and will use Map Features.

I propose to use a filter like this:

[railway] = 'siding' or [railway] = 'spur' or ([railway] = 'rail' and ([service] = 'siding' or [service] = 'spur' or [service] = 'yard'))
