I was messing with that a while back (several weeks if not a month
or two).

The different types of roads disappear at various zooms.  State
highways and freeways show up above 128, freeways above 512.  Turn
off map levels and you'll see them all.

Yes.  Several people have been wanting that.  Actually it'd be good
to have a min/max for each map.

The new dbfawk stuff should cover that as well.  I don't mind having
two (or more) methods to do the same thing though.
