Not Rendering Pipelines (But Their Names)

Mapnik renders tiles without pipelines but the names of pipelines. It's confusing to see names floating in the map without any object they could belong to. An example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.80735&lon=6.13086&zoom=17&layers=M
Looking at this area using JOSM you see 5 pipelines. The rendered tiles show only their names.

Yes, please add a Mapnik rendition for man_made=pipeline.

While the issue of the rendered names is a problem (of its own), the missing rendering of pipelines is the major problem here. They can help orientation a lot especially if they are mounted on bridges, because this creates a widely observable object. For an example of such a bridge see [http://maps.google.at/?ll=48.158127,16.52142&spn=0.009877,0.020342&t=h&z=16 here]. The 'location' of a pipeline can be [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dpipeline tagged] to be 'overground' and to be a 'bridge=yes', so it is pretty clear to derive the situations when it should be drawn. I do not have an idea how it should be rendered, but there are [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Approved_features/Tag:man_made%3Dpipeline#Rendering some suggestions] in the wiki and TBH i do not care too much, as long as it IS rendered :)

The place to report issues with [https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto openstreetmap-carto], the "standard" style on openstreetmap.org is on [https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues its issue tracker]. The old Mapnik XML based stylesheets have been retired.

The catch-alls that were the cause of many of these names have been removed. If there is a desire to render a new feature, an issue should be created on the issue tracker for the new stylesheet.
