--ignore-maxspeeds is no longer supported and required. In the branch 
the same behaviour is achieved by not referencing the maxspeed tag in 
the style files.

What do you mean with inc/address is not allowed on top? In my tests I 
did not find any problems with housenumber search.

I've done a direct comparison between the branch (trunk default style 
plus compat file) and the trunk (default style). The only differences I 
found had to do with some ref tags that contains multiple ";". As far as 
I understand this should not result in a difference in the map file. But 
maybe I have to test that again.

Usually only the first label is displayed. Sometimes (on some devices) 
the second label is displayed for routing instructions. The third and 
fourth label can be used at least for address search.

I would like to check that. But I need your complete style files. You 
can also send them directly to me if you don't want to post them here.
