Just to clarify: this doesn't create a second line does it?  I thought 
it just allows separate rules to match the same OSM object?  Or have I 
misunderstood?  I thought it was the overlays style file that creates 
copies of an OSM way so that you can apply different TYP styles to a 
single OSM object.
