OK, although I also understood that having so many POI's caused
problems.

This is something that I should work on then. I believe
that I know how to make it work.

No it is 'can be' not 'have to be' set in the style. The command line
options override any option that is set in the style. Sometimes it
would make sense to set options in a style and sometimes it wouldn't -
your choice.

Being able to define options like drive-on-left for different countries
would be great, but that is a separate enhancement.
