The thick white border around natural=water areas (thank you for fixing the non-rendering of these!) are much too thick: they look like highways and if the area is named, the name gets rendered like a highway around the border rather than in the middle of the area (though just drop the caption would be OK, as the caption can be done better manually by a separate node).

See "Cambridge Sewage Works" at http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/?lat=6808875.64122&lon=17478.03962&zoom=14&layers=B0

The same applies to a lesser extent to amenity=parking and amenity=school (probably other amenity= areas), exacerbated by the obscuring of highways within the area reported in http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/349

Furthermore, the white borders connect up with adjacent highways (the black edge line of the adjacent highway isn't rendered) so that they appear to join. See http://labs.metacarta.com/osm/?lat=6808381.18931&lon=14518.49407&zoom=15&layers=B0
