This is interesting, early on I though that access rules would have
to be in a separate file and this might be it.

It also fits in with something else that I want to do, which is
to remove all the other getTag() calls from StyledConverter.

Sounds like a good idea, I can't think of a syntax for it I like just
yet though.  You could also have different files lines_final,
points_final etc.
